Nokian Hakkapeliitta R5 wintertires feature an aggressive directional tread pattern. The number of tread blocks has also been increased, significantly improving the tire’s performance in deep snow.

Two leading technologies—Arctic Grip and Green Trace—were used in the development of the tire’s rubber compound. As part of the Arctic Grip technology, a large number of harder rubber chips have been added to the rubber compound of this tire model. As the tire wears down, these particles function as a kind of stud, digging into ice and packed snow with their sharp edges. Meanwhile, Green Trace technology, incorporated into the soft compound of the tire, significantly extends the tire’s lifespan and helps maintain flexibility at lower temperatures. As part of this technology, natural rubber is added to the compound, making the Nokian Hakkapeliitta R5 amore environmentally friendly choice.
