Especially intended for demanding use on main roads, the Nokian Hakkapeliitta Truck D winter traction tyre brings you the exceptional Hakkapeliitta grip. In addition to the M+S label, this reliable performer on the rough Northern roads also bears the alpine symbol indicating official winter tyre approval.
Innovations for winter Our patented twin-block pattern ensures optimal grip and precise driving response even under extreme conditions. The effective support of the tread blocks allows for deep sipes, providing the best possible grip without compromising the driving stability highly valued by drivers. The deep 3D siping of the Nokian Hakkapeliitta Truck D allows it to maintain its grip as the tyre wears down
Sipe activators The dense lateral siping improves traction and braking grip. The sipe activators on the tread boost the operation of the sipes and guarantee driving safety, even under rapidly changing weather conditions. The traction booster zigzag-pattern on the tyre surface also improves longitudinal grip.
Tailored rubber compound The excellent wear resistance of the Nokian Hakkapeliitta Truck D is based on a tailored rubber compound and the specific block distribution of the strong pattern: the step of the tread has been adjusted to match the uneven road surfaces. The optimised block distribution and regular surface pressure also ensure that the wear pattern is regular.
Quiet and economical The Nokian Hakkapeliitta Truck D creates savings due to its low rolling resistance, which in turn reduces fuel consumption and exhaust gas emissions. Due to the modern tread pattern design and optimised block distribution, the driving noise is up to 3 dB lower than in its predecessor.
Wear indicators provide added safety Wear indicators provide safety and make it easy to follow the wear of the tyre. The Driving Safety Indicator (DSI) indicates how many millimetres of tread there is left on the main grooves. The Winter Safety Indicator (WSI) shows when the tyre's winter grip properties are strongest.
Also for retread The Nokian Hakkapeliitta Truck D tread pattern is also available as the Nokian Noktop Hakkapeliitta D retread, developed and tested for demanding conditions.
EU Tyre Label and Efficiency Classes
The European Union has introduced the EU Tyre Label by Regulation (No. 1222/2009) identically and bindingly for all EU member states. It applies to passenger car tyres, light commercial vehicle tyres and heavy commercial vehicle tyres produced after 01.07.2012.
Three different areas are tested: rolling resistance, wet grip and the rolling noise the tyre makes on the road.
The following are not affected by the EU Tyre Label: retreaded tyres, professional off-road tyres, racing tyres, tyres with additional devices to improve traction such as spiked tyres, T-type emergency tyres, special tyres for fitting to vehicles first registered before 1 October 1990, tyres with a maximum authorised speed of 80 km/h, tyres for rims with a nominal diameter of 254 mm or less or 635 mm or more.
With this regulation, the European Union is pursuing the goal of promoting economic and ecological efficiency in road traffic as well as increasing road safety on the one hand, and on the other hand, granting consumers more product transparency and at the same time serving as an active decision-making aid.
Already during the incorporation, experts criticise the fact that the EU Tyre Label unfortunately only shows a few product characteristics. Apart from rolling resistance, wet grip and rolling noise, which are the main focus of EU tyre labelling, tyres have much more important and safety-relevant product characteristics, such as aquaplaning properties, driving stability, service life, braking properties on dry and wet roads, behaviour in wintry conditions, etc.
Tyre manufacturers point out that test results from various institutions and journals remain an important information medium for the end consumer. These tests usually focus on further safety-relevant product characteristics besides the EU standard qualifications for tyre labelling, which are always important for the final customer.
