Nokian T432918 Hakkapeliitta 9 SUV 265/65R17 116T XL Studded Winter Tire

The Nokian Hakkapeliitta 9 SUV is a touring winter tire made for SUVs, engineered to deliver exceptional performance in the harshest winter conditions. At the heart of this tire is the unique, patented Nokian Tyres Functional Stud Concept, which uses two different types of studs strategically positioned for maximum grip.

Key Features:

• When you brake or accelerate, the studs in the center area maximize reliable grip, while studs on the outer areas provide first-class grip when turning the wheel in slippery curves
• Detailed directional tread design with snow-gripping cuts and high-density zigzag sipes provide additional biting edges to grip ice and snow-covered road surfaces
• Zigzag circumferential and angled lateral grooves prevent hydroplaning by dispersing water and slush from the footprint
• Designed specifically for electric vehicles with reinforced construction to handle increased vehicle weight
• Eco-friendly compound reduces rolling resistance, lowering fuel consumption and CO2 emission levels

The winter compound with durable rubber materials increases grip on the road surface with extra biting edges, ensuring confident winter driving. This tire comes factory-studded and features an XL (Extra Load) rating with a 116T service description, providing enhanced load capacity for SUVs and crossovers operating in severe winter conditions.

Important Note: Nokian's studdable winter tires require special studs and can only be studded at their factory, so tire shops will not be able to install studs into Nokian tires in the US.
