The Nokian Hakkapeliitta 01 is a studded winter tyre designed for passenger cars, SUVs and electric vehicles. Developed to deliver adaptable grip according to driving conditions, it combines winter safety, stability and comfort on snowy, icy or clear roads.
The geometry of the studs has been designed to ensure effective contact angles on different winter surfaces, whether smooth ice, compacted snow or wet road surfaces in transition. The aggressive grooves dedicated to snow and the 3D sipes also contribute to the tyre's stability, particularly in corners or during sudden manoeuvres.
Thanks to its adaptive studding technology, the Nokian Tyres Hakkapeliitta 01 reduces the impact of the studs on clear roads. This design helps reduce road wear by up to 30% compared with the previous generation, without compromising the safety expected from a studded winter tyre.
This winter tyre also benefits from ELECTRIC FIT™ certification, indicating its compatibility with petrol, hybrid and electric vehicles.
The Hakkapeliitta 01 is aimed at drivers looking for a studded winter tyre offering a combination of safety, controlled braking, stability and comfort during the cold season.
The patented Double Action Stud Technology is one of the key features of the Nokian Tyres Hakkapeliitta 01. It allows the studs to adapt their behaviour according to the condition of the road, giving priority to grip when winter conditions require it and improving comfort on clear roads.
On ice and snow, the studs penetrate more deeply into the surface to improve traction, control and stability. When the road becomes dry or clear, the adaptive compound at the base softens, allowing the studs to retract. This design helps to limit road wear while optimising tyre contact with non-snow-covered surfaces.
Some sizes of the Hakkapeliitta 01 are equipped with Aramid Strong Sidewalls. This design is intended to improve tyre durability and resistance to punctures during everyday winter use.
The sidewalls are reinforced with particularly strong aramid fibres. This material helps the tyre better withstand impacts caused by potholes, kerbs and debris on the road, while also helping to preserve its structure against external stresses.
Double Stud Technology is based on the use of two types of stud, each positioned in a specific area of the tread. This distribution makes it possible to adapt grip to the different phases of driving, whether in a straight line, during braking, under acceleration or when changing direction.
The central studs are designed to improve grip during braking and acceleration on straight roads. The studs positioned on the shoulders, meanwhile, enhance traction when cornering and stability during lane changes. Thanks to a new geometry, the studs penetrate icy surfaces more deeply, which improves grip on ice compared with previous generations.
The Snow Grooves and 3D sipes of the Nokian Hakkapeliitta 01 are designed to enhance vehicle control when winter conditions become more demanding. The deep grooves located in the shoulder areas provide additional grip when the tyre is driving through deeper snow.
The self-locking 3D sipes help to stiffen the tread blocks in contact with the road. This design supports the tyre structure during sharp cornering or sudden manoeuvres, helping to maintain stable and controlled handling when conditions change quickly.
Some sizes of the Nokian Tyres Hakkapeliitta 01 feature SilentDrive™ technology. This solution is designed to reduce disturbing sound frequencies and make everyday driving more pleasant.
By absorbing some of the noise generated while driving, SilentDrive™ Technology helps provide a calmer and more relaxed experience on different types of surfaces. It complements the tyre’s winter performance by adding an extra level of comfort for cold-season journeys.
