155/70R19 Nokian Hakkapelliita R3 88Q XL

155/70 R19 The Nokian Hakkapeliitta R3 is a high-quality winter tire designed for SUVs and suitable for driving in Northern European countries.  The tire is constructed using aramid fabric, which is very lightweight and incredibly durable, protecting the tire from damage and extending its service life.

Multiple Sipe Types

155/70 R19 The tread pattern of the Nokian Hakkapeliitta R3 features several types of sipes. Deep sipes in the tire’s side blocks enhance stability and performance on ice or slippery, wet roads. In the central part of the tread, however, the sipes serve a different purpose: they dry the road surface by absorbing moisture. This improves traction on wet roads.
