Released by one of the world leaders in the tire industry, the Nokian Hakkapeliitta C Cargo studded winter tire was specifically designed for light commercial vehicles - minivans, light trucks and vans. This model is a modernized version of one of the most popular winter passenger tires from this Finnish manufacturer.
The symmetrical directional tread pattern of this tire, like other Hakkapeliitta tires, features a V-shaped design with a huge number of zigzag lamellas. Such a design is ideal for commercial vehicle tires due to its ability to evenly distribute the load across the entire contact patch, which has a positive effect on the overall durability of the tire. In addition, the even distribution of the load ensures stability and reliability of traction, regardless of road conditions. Another advantage of the V-shaped tread pattern of this tire is the high efficiency of acceleration and braking, provided by the numerous sharp edges of the tread blocks and zigzag lamellas on their surface.
One of the key features of the Hakkapeliitta C Cargo tire is the shape of the stud and the studding technology. This model uses studs with a steel core and a lower flange in the shape of a quadrangle. At the same time, the studs are installed in a diamond shape relative to the direction of movement, which ensures reliable traction in all directions. The studding technology implies the installation of a stud in a lock-shaped hole, which makes it possible to ensure the correct installation depth. At the same time, the rubber compound around the lower flange of the stud has increased hardness, which allows the stud to be retained throughout the life of the tire. In addition, there is a special rubber pad under the studs, which significantly reduces the noise level.
