Nokian announces forthcoming additions to winter tyre range

In a teasing press release just before Christmas, Nokian Tyres revealed that the company is extending its Hakkapeliitta winter tyre range, with the addition of new flagship products; the Hakkapeliitta R5 Nordic non-studded winter tyres, designed for passenger cars and SUVs. The new tyre is, says Nokian’s head of product management Marko Saari, “a revolutionary new tyre that everyone will want to experience for themselves.”

So new is the latest addition that this brief announcement is designed to merely whet our appetites and more detailed product information and photos of the new winter tires will be released in late January.

Nokian also shares that its winter tyre range will be further extended by the introduction of a non-studded tyre specially tailored for electric vehicles and hybrids.
