The success story of the Hakkapeliittas continues

Nokian Tyres developed the world’s first winter tyre for the winter

frost in 1934. Two years later, the Nokian Hakkapeliitta was born

in the Nordic winter; currently, it is one of the most well-known

winter tyre brands in the world. The Hakkapeliitta tyre will cele-

brate its 80th birthday in 2016.

The history of the Nokian Hakkapeliitta winter tyres is colourful

and rich in acclaim. The manufacturing of the Hakkapeliittas start-

ed in 1936, and they were introduced internationally by the leg-

endary Monte Carlo rallies in the 1950s and 1960s. Cars equipped

with studded Kometa-Hakkapeliittas dominated the snowy and

icy mountain roads.

Since 1936, this pioneer of the tyre industry has introduced a

total of 44 Hakkapeliitta products as studded and studless winter

tyres for passenger cars and heavy equipment.

Numerous innovations, over one hundred winter tyre patents

and high rankings in magazine tests year after year have made

them legendary.

Over the decades, the basic principle of tyre development has

remained exactly the same: our goal is to develop tyres for North-

ern drivers who value safety and require reliable performance

under all conditions.

State-of-the-art green winter tyre technology

Nokian Tyres developed the most energy-efficient winter tyre in

the automotive industry for drivers of electric vehicles. According

to the EU tyre label, the new Nokian Hakkapeliitta R2 is in the

best class A for fuel efficiency. This next-generation Hakkapeliitta

winter tyre that combines longer range and first-class grip is de-

signed for BMW’s i3 electric vehicles and i8 hybrids. The new tyre

model is available in the following sizes: 155/70 R19 84Q and

215/45 R20 95R XL.

Nokian WR D3, designed for the variable winter conditions

of Central Europe, is a sound choice for small and mid-sized

family cars and for motorists who value economical and safe

driving. Preventing slush planing was a key consideration in

the design process: the slanting, staggered front edge of the

tread blocks flings water and slush away from the tyre grooves.

The tyre’s Cool Touch Design siping minimises the friction and

heat emission caused by unnecessary sipe movement. A light-

er rolling tyre means lower fuel consumption and lower carbon

dioxide emissions.

• Reliable on wet, dry, and slushy roads

• Effective aquaplaning and slushplaning prevention

• Rolls lightly, protecting the environment and saving fuel

Nokian WR A3, optimised for more efficient cars, also guaran-

tees precise and sensitive driving at higher speeds. The Nano-

base structure of Nokian WR A3 improves the tyre’s steering

response and control when cornering, changing lanes and

dodging. Controllability in extreme conditions is exemplary on

both slippery surfaces and roads offering a firm grip. The new

structure also helps to reduce the tyre’s harmful heat emission,

which in turn means a lower rolling resistance.

• Excellent grip and driving feel under all conditions

• Stable and easy to control, even at high speeds

• Rolls lightly, preserving the environment and saving fuel

Take care of your Nokian tyresNokian tyres are designed to endure the changing weather and road conditions. With these few tips, you can keep your tyres in top shape so that they can ensure a safe drive for you.

Q

Do tyres need to be run in ?

We recommend tyres to be run in for 500 km after

their mounting. Therefore, avoid strong acceler-

ation, breaking and turning at first. During the

running-in, the tyre grease that is used between

the tyre and the rim in the mounting dries, which

makes the tyre remain tightly in place in relation

to the rim. Remember to after-tighten the nuts/

bolts after driving ca. 200 km.

Q

A

A

Q

A

How long will the tyres last?

The safe service life for tyres is six (6) years. The

maximum life is ten (10) years. The safe minimum

tread depth for winter tyres is 4 mm. We do not

recommend winter tyres (M+S) to be used under

summer conditions. Between seasons, the tyres

must be stored in a cool, dark and dry space. The

tyres must not touch solvent substances such as oil,

gasoline or lubricants.

Q

A

Should tyres be rotated from the front to back?

Drive tyres wear more quickly than free-rolling

tyres. We recommend tyres to be rotated from the

front axle to the rear axle ca. every 8,000 km. This

way, the tyre wear is evened out and the total

driving distance of the tyres is maximised. The

rotation direction that is marked on the tyre must

be followed.

Q

A

What are the recommended inflation pressures?

Nokian Tyres has test driven the recommended

inflation pressures for winter tyres (M+S) for the

most common car makes. The recommended

pressures may exceed the car manufacturer re-

commendations, as the winter tyre has a different

structure. If there is no recommended inflation

pressure for winter tyres, we recommend winter

tyres to be inflated 0.2 bar (20 kpa) higher than

the summer recommendation. The pressure levels

must be inspected by using a calibrated gauge

with cold tyres every three (3) weeks.

What if the tyre is damaged?

If a tyre is damaged, avoid driving on an under-

inflated tyre. Take the tyre to a tyre dealer for as-

sessment and repair.

Starting in November 2012, the European Union introduced a new EU tyre labelling. The EU tyre label will help consumers compare tyres in terms of fuel economy, wet grip, and external rolling noise.

The tyre label applies to tyres for passen-ger cars, 4x4s, vans, trucks, and buses that are manufactured after 1 July 2012 and that are approved for road use. The label does not apply to studded tyres.

Tailored tyresfor the right conditions.

Winter conditions not taken into account

The classification is based on Central European conditions,

including tyre grip on a wet surface. For now, the new

tyre label does not take into account grip on ice, which

is essential for winter tyres and real winter conditions. As

regards winter tyres, studded tyres have been left com-

pletely out of the classification.

The selection of a tyre is a sum of many components

Although the new EU tyre label makes it easier to compare

different tyres and provide consumers with useful informa-

tion, there are a number of other properties, in addition to

the three classification criteria, that affect safe driving and

are valued by drivers.

These properties include:

• Handling on different surfaces

• Performance on ice and snow

• Ability to withstand aquaplaning

• Durability and wear

In addition to the EU tyre label, we recommend that you

consult professional tyre retailers and study independent

tyre comparison tests in motoring magazines that compare

more tyre characteristics.
