All of the ferocity of a Finnish warrior packaged into a winter-ready tire that can carry you through even the harshest of Nordic winters: the Nokian Hakkapeliitta R3 snow tire.

Nokian Hakkapeliitta R3 Features

It may not feature studs, but the Hakkapeliitta R3 comes bearing enough arms to help you stay planted on frozen winter streets (even when they’re covered in ice and snow). If there was ever a tire designed with winter performance in mind, this is it. 

One of the first weapons in this tire’s arsenal? The multi-faceted snow claws.

Notches built into the Hakkapeliitta R3’s tread blocks, the snow claws cut into ice and pack snow deep into the grooves, giving you balanced grip when braking and accelerating on ice and snow.

But don’t worry, that’s not the only heat this winter tire is packing.

Built with Nokian’s unique Arctic Sense Grip concept, this tire’s tread design leverages multiple sipe patterns and their Cryo Crystal 3 grip particles. The variable sipe design allows for multi-angled grip, giving you responsive maneuverability on ice and snow. And those crystal particles built into the rubber compound? They act like microscopic studs, adhering to your driving surface, even when it’s coated in a dangerous layer of ice. 

Other performance features of the Hakkapeliitta R3 include:

• Approved for use in extreme winter conditions, this tire features the 3-Peak Mountain Snowflake Rating.
• Aramid-reinforced sidewalls provide additional stability and resistance to sidewall damage, giving you extra peace of mind on those wintry streets.
• Clearing slush and water away with ease, this tire features a directional tread pattern and sweeping lateral grooves.
• The solid center rib and wide outer shoulder blocks ensure stable highway handling and linear steering control.

Nokian Hakkapeliitta R3 Treadwear and Warranty

Not just designed to excel in Arctic weather conditions, the Hakkapeliitta R3 is optimized to evenly support the weight of your vehicle without distorting the tread pattern. Meanwhile, interlocking sipes provide stability and resistance to uneven treadwear.

This means long-lasting and unrelenting winter traction.

Although it isn’t backed by a mileage warranty, you can invest in our exclusive Certificates. Designed to ease your mind when you’re behind the wheel, our Certificates will cover your new Nokian winter tyres all the way down to 3/32’’ of treadwear.

And if your tyres suffer any damage that we can’t safely repair, we’ll get you back on the road with a brand new replacement tire. That’s peace of mind that doesn’t need a mileage guarantee.

(You can add our Certificate coverage in the cart of your order.)
