Nokian Hakkapeliitta 10 SUV. FEATURES AND BENEFITS: Enhanced controllability; Winter weather traction; High driving comfort levels; Fuel efficient performance; Longer lasting tread life; . OVERVIEW: The Nokian Hakkapeliitta 10 SUV is a touring, winter tire manufactured for SUVs.A better controllability is promoted with the directional tread design. The footprint ensures the surface contact at all times, greatly improving the steering responsiveness and driving stability. As a result, the tire is able to ensure a faster and more accurate steering response to the driver's commands, while the structure is secured against the driving pressure. This ensures the driver's constant control over the vehicle, even in harsher winter weather conditions.The winter compound and the detailed directional tread design boost the winter weather, ice and snow traction. The stronger compound elements optimize the rubber flexibility in freezing temperatures, optimizing the versatile weather performance. The tread with the high-density siping placement upgrades the grip on the road surface, boosting the ice and snow traction. The angled lateral grooves prevent hydroplaning in wet conditions, resulting in a secure driving experience. The tread area is studded, which further upgrades the tire's overall winter weather traction and ensures its driving safety.High driving comfort levels are ensured with the tread design. The directional tread design closely follows the road surface at all times, allowing the tire to absorb the shock of driving. In this manner, the tire is able to decrease the road vibrations felt by the passengers. This allows the tire to decrease the road vibrations felt by the passengers, guaranteeing a comfortable performance.The stronger winter traction helps to improve the fuel efficiency. The better traction eases the pressure off the tire, greatly decreasing the rolling resistance affecting the tire. The rolling resistance is the pressure which eases the pressure off the tire, lowering the vehicle's necessary fuel intake. Reducing the rolling resistance helps to decrease the vehicle's fuel consumption and CO2 emissions, promoting a fuel conscious driving experience.The Hakkapeliitta 10 SUV upgrades its service life. The tread design's even pressure circulation and the durable compound elements greatly improve the usability. The directional tread design ensures even pressure circulation across the tread area, avoiding irregular wear formations. The stronger compound helps to decrease the overall treadwear rate. The slow and even wear significantly boosts the overall tread life length. Manufacturers recommend changing tires every 10 years. As long as tires are properly stored before they are sold, the year of their manufacture will not shorten their service life.
