Nokian 215/55R16 HAKKAPELIITTA 10 97T XL

Features and Benefits: Improved controllability; Winter weather traction; Fuel efficient performance; Upgraded tread life; Nokian Tyres Hakkapeliitta 10 TiresThe Nokian Tyres Hakkapeliitta 10 is a touring, winter tire manufactured for passenger vehicles and SUVs. The directional tread elements maintain consistent contact with the driving surface, promoting exceptional controllability and driving stability. The tread provides a high number of biting edges, greatly improving steering response time and accuracy to the driver's commands. The combination of these features allows the driver to keep exceptional control over the vehicle on ice- and snow-covered road surfaces, thanks to its ideal tread and metal studs. The strong compound materials optimize rubber flexibility even in harsh winter conditions. The circumferential grooves actively resist the risk of hydroplaning. This ensures a better and safer winter weather traction. This model comes with a specially designed tread that is able to ease the driving pressure from the tire to lower the rolling resistance. The rolling resistance is pressure that determines how much energy the tire needs to maintain its constant forward motion. As the rolling resistance is reduced, the tire reduces the vehicle's fuel consumption and CO2 emissions. This combination promotes a cost efficient and environmentally friendly driving experience. The Nokian Tyres Hakkapeliitta 10 utilizes its directional tread elements to balance out load and driving pressure across the tread area. This effectively avoids irregular wear formations, while durable compound materials slow down the treadwear rate and avoid premature wear. This significantly slows down the tread wear rate, improving the tread life and tire usability. The specially designed tread also provides a quiet and comfortable driving experience by lowering the road noise and vibrations. This allows the passengers to enjoy a quiet and comfortable driving experience. 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.
