Nokian Hakkapeliitta 8 Studded 195/55R15 89T XL BW - Black

Description

Nokian's Eco Stud 8 technology combines two different shaped studs and a cushion that dampens road contact to reduce road wear and ensure a quiet ride. The Nokian Hakkapeliitta 8 is a high-end studded winter radial, suited for drivers who do not want to compromise on winter safety. The Cryo-Silane formulated compound provides wear resistance and wet grip while remaining flexible in freezing temperatures. A saw-toothed pattern on the rear edges of the shoulder tread blocks helps to increase braking performance, particularly on snow. Driving Safety Indicators and Winter Safety Indicators embedded in the tread provide a way to visually check tread depth and indicate when the tire is no longer safe for winter driving. Available with run-flat technology (RFT) on select sizes, where noted. The Cryo-Silane formulated compound provides wear resistance and excellent wet grip while remaining flexible in freezing temperatures. The diagonal 3D support sipes at the center of the tread provide additional stiffness, improving steering response and handling on bare pavement. The directional tread pattern features locking 3D sipes which stabilize the block elements on road contact for improved cornering performance. The Nokian Hakkapeliitta 8 is rated with Severe Service Emblem and exceeds the government standard for tire performance in harsh winter conditions.
