Especially intended for demanding use on main roads, the Nokian Hakkapeliitta Truck D winter traction tyre brings you the exceptional Hakkapeliitta grip. In addition to the M+S label, this reliable performer on the rough Northern roads also bears the alpine symbol indicating official winter tyre approval.
Innovations for winter Our patented twin-block pattern ensures optimal grip and precise driving response even under extreme conditions. The effective support of the tread blocks allows for deep sipes, providing the best possible grip without compromising the driving stability highly valued by drivers. The deep 3D siping of the Nokian Hakkapeliitta Truck D allows it to maintain its grip as the tyre wears down
Sipe activators The dense lateral siping improves traction and braking grip. The sipe activators on the tread boost the operation of the sipes and guarantee driving safety, even under rapidly changing weather conditions. The traction booster zigzag-pattern on the tyre surface also improves longitudinal grip.
Tailored rubber compound The excellent wear resistance of the Nokian Hakkapeliitta Truck D is based on a tailored rubber compound and the specific block distribution of the strong pattern: the step of the tread has been adjusted to match the uneven road surfaces. The optimised block distribution and regular surface pressure also ensure that the wear pattern is regular.
Quiet and economical The Nokian Hakkapeliitta Truck D creates savings due to its low rolling resistance, which in turn reduces fuel consumption and exhaust gas emissions. Due to the modern tread pattern design and optimised block distribution, the driving noise is up to 3 dB lower than in its predecessor.
Wear indicators provide added safety Wear indicators provide safety and make it easy to follow the wear of the tyre. The Driving Safety Indicator (DSI) indicates how many millimetres of tread there is left on the main grooves. The Winter Safety Indicator (WSI) shows when the tyre's winter grip properties are strongest.
Also for retread The Nokian Hakkapeliitta Truck D tread pattern is also available as the Nokian Noktop Hakkapeliitta D retread, developed and tested for demanding conditions.
The Tire Labeling Ordinance specifies the information requirements on fuel efficiency, wet grip and external rolling noise from tires. In addition, reference is made to the winter properties of the product.
The EU 1222/2009 regulation that has been in force since November 1st, 2012 has been revised and will be replaced by regulation EU 2020/740 from May 1st, 2021; From this point on, new requirements apply. The rating classes for fuel efficiency, wet grip and exterior noise have been changed and the layout of the EU label has been adjusted. The manufacturer's product data sheets stored in the EU database can be downloaded via a QR code integrated into the label. Information on snow grip and ice grip is also newly included for tires that meet these criteria.
The following tires are exempt from the regulation: - tires that are designed exclusively for installation on vehicles that were first registered before October 1, 1990 - retreaded tires (until a corresponding extension of EU VO 2020/740 has taken place) - professional off - Road tires - Racing tires - Tires with additional devices to improve traction, eg studded tires - T-type emergency tires - Tires with a permissible speed below 80 km/h - Tires for rims with a nominal diameter ≤ 254 mm or ≥ 635 mm
The criteria and evaluation classes at a glance
fuel efficiency
The fuel consumption depends on the rolling resistance of the tyres, the vehicle itself, the driving conditions and the driving style of the driver. The measured rolling resistance (rolling resistance coefficient) of the tire is divided into classes A (highest efficiency) to E (lowest efficiency).
If a vehicle is completely equipped with class A tires, a consumption reduction of up to 7.5%* is possible compared to class E tyres. In the case of commercial vehicles, it can even be higher. (Source: European Commission Impact Assessment * when measured according to the test methods set out in Regulation (EU) 2020/740)
Please note: Fuel consumption depends to a large extent on your own driving style and can be significantly reduced by driving in an environmentally friendly manner. Tire pressure should be checked regularly to improve fuel efficiency.
wet grip
Wet grip is divided into classes A (shortest braking distance) - E (longest braking distance).
If a car is equipped with class A tires, compared to class E tires, a braking distance of up to 18 m can be reduced when braking from 80 km/h (on a road surface with average grip).* *Source: wdk Economic Association of the German Rubber Industry eV
Please note: Traffic safety depends to a large extent on your own driving style. The stopping distances must always be observed. Tire pressure should be checked regularly to improve wet grip.
External rolling noise
The noise emitted by a tire affects the overall volume of the vehicle and affects not only your own driving comfort, but also the noise pollution of the environment. In the EU tire label, the external rolling noise is divided into 3 classes from A (lowest rolling noise) - C (highest rolling noise), measured in decibels (dB) and compared with the European noise emission limit values for external tire rolling noise.
A The pictogram with the classification "A" indicates that the tire's external rolling noise is more than 3 dB below the EU limit value in force until 2016. B The "B" classification means that the tyre's external rolling noise is up to 3 dB below or equal to the EU limit value in force until 2016. C The classification "C" indicates that the specified limit value is exceeded.
D
B
75dB
