Nokian 215/65R16 102T XL Hakkapeliitta 9 SUV Winter Tire - Not Studded 215

Features and Benefits: Winter weather traction; Enhanced controllability; Fuel efficient performance; Improved structural durability; Nokian Tyres Hakkapeliitta 9 SUV TiresThe Nokian Tyres Hakkapeliitta 9 SUV is a touring winter tire made for SUVs. The tire improves the winter weather traction. The detailed directional tread design and the stronger... morewinter compound increase the winter weather, ice, and snow traction. The middle tread's snow-gripping cuts and high-density zigzag sipes provide additional biting edges to grip the road surface on ice- and snow-covered road surfaces. The winter compound with durable rubber materials increases the grip on the road surface with extra biting edges. The tread features studs that further enhance the winter weather traction. The tread's zigzag circumferential and angled lateral grooves prevent hydroplaning by dispersing water and slush from the footprint, greatly upgrading the wet weather performance. The tread design and the stronger structure increase the handling. The directional tread design maintains the surface contact in order to boost the steering responsiveness and the driving stability. This promotes a quicker and more precise in its response to the driver's commands, while the structure is secured against the driving pressure affecting the tire. The tire's high-density steel belt structure maintains the ideal tire shape under load and driving pressure. This greatly increases the load capacity and overall controllability. The Nokian Tyres's special Aramid Sidewall Technology upgrades the structural durability. This added strength increases the damage resistance and the tread life length. The stronger sidewalls protect the tire from external damage while maintaining the ideal tire shape at all times. As a result, cuts, punctures, and impact damage cannot shorten the service life, while the construction increases the tire's overall load capacity. The Hakkapeliitta 9 SUV utilizes a special eco-friendly compound. In this manner, the tire boosts traction and minimizes the pressure placed on the tire, lowering the rolling resistance. The rolling resistance is the pressure affecting the tire which determines the vehicle's fuel intake and CO2 emission levels, resulting in a fuel-conscious and environmentally friendly driving experience. Nokian Tyres's studdable winter tires require special studs. For this reason, Nokian Tyres winter tires can only be studded at their factory. Therefore, tire shops will not be able to install studs into Nokian Tyres tires in the US. M
