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

Description

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. 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 directional tread pattern features locking 3D sipes which stabilize the block elements on road contact for improved cornering performance. A tough rubber compound below the surface compound firmly locks the studs in the tread blocks, stabilizes driving on dry roads, and ensures an even wear pattern. The Nokian Hakkapeliitta 8 is a high-end studded winter radial, suited for drivers who do not want to compromise on winter safety. V, H and T speed rated sizes available The Nokian Hakkapeliitta 8 is available for 13 through 21 inch wheel sizes and 30 through 75 series profiles. The Cryo-Silane formulated compound provides wear resistance and excellent wet grip while remaining flexible in freezing temperatures. The Nokian Hakkapeliitta 8 is rated with Severe Service Emblem and exceeds the government standard for tire performance in harsh winter conditions. Available with run-flat technology (RFT) on select sizes, where noted. A saw-toothed pattern on the rear edges of the shoulder tread blocks helps to increase braking performance, particularly on snow.
