Nokian Hakkapeliitta NRW is a non-studded winter tire for passenger cars from the well-known Finnish manufacturer of automotive tires. It is designed for operation predominantly on wet, snowy and icy surfaces in urban conditions. This model has the M + S ("mud plus snow") marking.
This tire is produced with several speed indexes - from Q (160 km/h - indeed, only in one size) to V (240 km/h). Its operational characteristics are similar to those of summer tires when driving at high speeds.
The design of the tread pattern has a directional character, which provides excellent traction on any road surface. The central part of the tread is particularly stiff, which, together with the arrow-like pattern, significantly improves driving performance in adverse driving conditions. The entire tread area is literally dotted with numerous lamellas that enhance the grip properties, literally biting into the ice.
In addition, the design of the tread pattern of the Nokian NRW tire promotes excellent drainage of water, mud and wet snow from the contact patch. Firstly, the large distance between the tread blocks allows the tire to self-clean, and secondly, their optimized arrangement creates four zigzag-shaped longitudinal grooves that effectively combat the occurrence of aquaplaning.
Finally, the tread of this tire has a silicone coating, which, once again, increases the traction characteristics and also increases the durability of the tire.
In summary, it's worth saying that this model will delight car owners who love fast driving regardless of the time of year.
