Attention! Due to the size of the tires, Packages might be SEPARATED in the courier facility and not be DELIVERED on the SAME DAY, even though we do ship them together. Tracking information can be checked by logging on to the courier website with the master tracking number you will receive via email. For example, you can receive 3 tires in one day and the 4th one the next day or the day after, or one tire in one day and the second one day after. We understand that this is a big inconvenience for our buyers, however, this is ABSOLUTELY out of our control.
Nokian Tyres Hakkapeliitta 9 SUV
Winter weather traction
Enhanced controllability
Fuel efficient performance
Improved structural durability
The Nokian Tyres Hakkapeliitta 9 SUV is a touring winter tire manufactured for SUVs.
The tire promotes a secure winter weather performance. It is able to perform in severe winter conditions thanks to the combination of the detailed directional tread and the durable winter compound. The middle tread blocks' snow-gripping cuts and the high-density zigzag siping pattern enhance the number of biting edges gripping the ice- and snow-covered road surface with extra biting edges. The durable compound keeps the rubber flexibility in colder temperatures, guaranteeing the tire's secure performing capability in various winter situations. Versatile studs can be added to the tread area, which will further enhance the grip on the road surface when driving on ice and snow. The zigzag circumferential and angled lateral grooves prevent hydroplaning by dispersing water and slush from below the footprint, maintaining the surface contact and boosting the winter weather driving safety.
The tread design and the stronger structure work together to enhance the controllability. The tread's directional pattern closely follows the road surface to enhance the steering responsiveness. The tread's constant road contact and ideal grip boost the grip on the road surface and enhance the steering response time and accuracy to the driver's commands. The high-tensile steel belt structure enhances the driving stability. It secures the tire's structure against the driving pressure affecting the model while the tires are in motion, which maximizes the drive's control over the vehicle at all times. This combination ensures a secure performing capability in all winter weather conditions.
The model was molded from a special eco-friendly tire compound. This compound enhances the surface traction and eases the pressure off the tire during its performance. As a result, it significantly lowers the model's rolling resistance. The rolling resistance is the driving pressure affecting the tire which determines the vehicle's fuel consumption needed to keep the tires in motion. By lessening the rolling resistance, the tire decreases the vehicle's fuel intake and CO2 emissions, guaranteeing a fuel efficient and environmentally friendly driving experience.
Nokian's studdable winter tires require special studs. Therefore, tire shops will not be able to install studs into Nokian tires in the US.
Manufacturers recommend changing tires every 10 years. As long as tires are properly stored before they are sold, the year of their manufacture will not shorten their service life.
