Nokian Hakkapeliitta R5 SUV 255/55 R18 109R XL

The winter tire Nokian Hakkapeliitta R5 SUV is designed for crossovers and SUVs. Developed for regions with harsh climate conditions. On any winter roads, it stands out for its excellent grip, ease of handling, comfortable quiet and smooth ride, fuel efficiency, and long service life.

Improved sidewall durability

In winter conditions, there are a number of factors that significantly increase the risk of tire damage, from potholes to sharp irregularities on icy surfaces. This model features improved protection against them. In particular, the rubber compound used in the sidewalls contains aramid fibers. The synthetic lightweight material has excellent mechanical strength, which allows protecting this vulnerable to damage part of the tire, increasing its reliability and durability in complex winter operating conditions.

Eco-friendly rubber compound

The tire tread is made of Green Trace compound. The presence of natural rubber and silica in the composition allows maintaining elasticity even at extremely low temperatures. As a result, the grip on cold wet, snowy, and icy surfaces is improved. In turn, the addition of pine tar and rapeseed oil to the compound increases the strength of the tear and stretch, ensuring high resistance to abrasive wear and tears. And most of the components of this rubber compound are obtained from renewable or recyclable resources.
