- Quattrotread Tread Design
- Winter can be unpredictable and hazardous, but your tires should not. The new Hakkapeliitta R5 covers all northern winter conditions and performs predictably on bare, wet, icy and snowy roads. The new Double Block Grip design offers superior grip and handling, while the excellent ice performance is guaranteed by the unique Arctic Grip Crystals. The microscopic crystals work like built-in studs. As the tire wears down, the crystals emerge and activate a well-needed grip reserve.
- New Square Stud & 'Bear Claw' Technology
- Tire noise can affect driving comfort significantly. Lower noise levels can make the journey more comfortable and less exhausting for the driver. The new Hakkapeliitta R5 offers a smooth, comfortable and steady soundscape. The pleasant sound levels have been achieved by eliminating the most disturbing noise peaks the human ear can distinguish. The new Silent Touch tread design offers comfortable and pleasant rolling thanks to the new tread block distribution.
- Canola Oil Tread Compound
- Starting from the material selection, the new Hakkapeliitta R5 has been designed to leave a smaller carbon footprint. The new Green Trace compound offers, excellent winter grip, better mileage and low rolling resistance. The large amount of natural rubber keeps the compound flexible under all conditions. Low rolling resistance generates fuel savings and cuts down on harmful emissions. More than one third of the materials in the compound are renewable and recycled.
- Arctic Grip Crystals. The microscopic, third-generation grip crystals are mixed in the tread rubber. These crystals work like built-in studs, creating sharp, tough grip edges inside the rubber. As the tire wears down, the crystals emerge and activate the much-needed grip reserve.
- Directional Tread Pattern
- Jointless Nylon Belt
- Improves driving stability and stud operation. The new tread also provides a quieter drive
- PURE GRIP
- PURE SILENCE
- The innovative new shape provides grip in four directions, improving safety in winter road conditions. Sharp edged claw like projections at the front edges of the tread blocks called 'Bear Claws' support the studs by keeping them in the ideal position during road contact and braking, thus preventing tire distortion
- PURE ECO-FRIENDLINESS
- This environmentally friendly compound increases the rubber's tear resistance while increasing grip in winter conditions
- Expels water, snow and slush while providing exceptional lateral grip
- IMPECCABLE ICE GRIP
- Helps prevent tread separations while providing a smooth, comfortable ride
