Nokian Hakkapeliitta 9 195/65 R15 95T

"Civilian" tyres for harsh winter conditions of car travel, for the first time among the "classmates" got a double studding scheme. In the central core of the directional tread pattern of the tyre there are octagonal “claws”, which are responsible for the acceleration and braking dynamics of the car. Anti-skid spikes in the shoulder areas have a hexagonal structure and a triangular insert — they improve grip in corners when cornering on slippery roads.

Near each steel “claw”, special Eco Stud System shock absorbers are installed, which provide a soft ride and dampening of rolling noise. The surface of the Nokian Hakkapeliitta 9 195/65 R15 95T tread blocks is densely dotted with self-locking sipes. The model also has an improved water drainage system, which guarantees quick self-cleaning of the tread from water and melted snow. By the way, the “snow” grip of the tyre is designed to strengthen the V-shaped slots in the blocks of the central segment, called Snow Grip Boosters. Similar cutouts closer to the shoulder areas are called Deep Snow Boosters — their work is aimed at increasing the tyre's patency in deep snow.
