Some say that the best way to drive safely in a snowstorm is to postpone your trip. Even though the challenge of navigating through a sudden snowstorm or rapidly freezing roads is well known, people living in the North must keep moving, no matter the weather.
Whether it's a case of a chilling blizzard or driveways blanketed in a thick carpet of snow, the new non-studded Nokian Hakkapeliitta R3 Nordic winter tire offers drivers much-needed peace of mind. The driving is wonderfully controlled, precise and quiet in slippery and bare roads alike.
Nokian Hakkapeliitta R3 - The perfect balance between safety and comfort.

Excellent winter grip, enjoyable driving feel
The extreme grip challenge of the Northern winter is overcome with the Arctic Sense Grip concept. Nokian Hakkapeliitta R3 adapts to all variations of winter using different, carefully tailored sipes, which work optimally on ice, snow and bare roads. The new-generation rubber compound boosts optimal grip with Cryo Crystal 3 particles. Made of renewable bio-material, these microscopic crystals work like built-in studs, improving grip on ice by grabbing onto the driving surface and bringing peace of mind.
