The Nokian Hakkapeliitta Truck D tire belongs to a very limited category of models designed for operation in winter on the driving axles of trucks and buses. Currently, this model is offered in one single size, 315/80, for wheels with a mounting diameter of 22.5 inches.
High maneuverability
This tire is one of the latest developments of the Finnish manufacturer. One of the innovative innovations was the symmetrical non-directional tread pattern Twin block, the efficiency of which was so high that a patent was obtained for it. Its high performance, first of all, on winter surfaces, this tread is due to the presence of a large number of small-sized blocks. In combination with a multitude of lamellas, this made it possible to fill the contact patch to the limit with an innumerable number of sharp edges. At the same time, the same lamellas, thanks to their self-locking design, increase the stiffness of the blocks. As a result, the Nokian Hakkapeliitta Truck D tire demonstrates excellent traction in combination with excellent maneuverability.
Excellent wear resistance
Another component of high performance on winter surfaces was the tread rubber compound, developed taking into account the complex climatic conditions. It is characterized by excellent resistance to abrasive wear and elasticity over a wide temperature range.
Excellent fuel efficiency
Another key advantage of this model is very low rolling resistance, which made it possible to significantly reduce fuel consumption. This was achieved due to the carefully selected arrangement of tread blocks. In addition, the optimized pattern provides a high level of driving comfort.
Key features of Nokian Hakkapeliitta Truck D
