The Nokian Hakkapeliitta R5 EV is a studless winter tire specifically designed for electric vehicles and hybrids. It incorporates Nokian's Green Trace rubber compound, which reduces rolling resistance and improves the vehicle's range. This tire is equipped with features that make it ideal for driving in winter weather conditions. It has a winter tread design, a black sidewall, and is certified with the Three Peak Mountain Snowflake symbol, indicating its suitability for use in moderate to severe winter conditions. Additionally, the Hakkapeliitta R5 EV is made using eco-friendly materials such as canola oil, natural rubber, recycled steel, plant-derived oils, and pine resin, in order to minimize its environmental impact. Winter driving can be challenging due to icy, slushy, snowy, and frozen roads. However, the Nokian Hakkapeliitta R5 EV is specifically engineered to tackle these conditions. It utilizes Arctic Grip Crystals, acting as pseudo studs, to enhance traction by creating sharp biting edges. The tire also features a Double Block Grip design on the shoulders, which increases handling and grip on slippery surfaces. Furthermore, the directional tread pattern with angled grooves effectively channels water and slush out of the tread, reducing the risk of hydroplaning and slushplaning. In addition to its winter performance, the Hakkapeliitta R5 EV prioritizes fuel efficiency and environmental sustainability. The tire's low rolling resistance design, derived from natural rubber, recycled steel, and plant-derived oils and pine resins, helps to improve fuel efficiency and enhance the vehicle's range. SilentDrive technology is incorporated to absorb road noises and vibrations, providing a quiet and comfortable driving experience for both the driver and passengers. Overall, the Nokian Hakkapeliitta R5 EV offers an all-in-one winter driving solution.
