Nokian Tire Hakkapeliitta 8 Studded
The Nokian Hakkapeliitta 8 is a studded winter tire that will go to battle with ice and snow to help you stay safe on the winter road ahead.
Nokian Hakkapeliitta 8 Features
Named for the battlecry used by the Finnish light cavalry, you know this tire isn't messing around when it comes to winter performance. But you don't have to speak Finnish to understand that the Nokian Hakkapeliitta 8 Studded is a winter tire that will have your back all winter long. Developed to handle the unforgiving winters of Scandinavia, think of the Hakkapeliitta 8 snow tire as your own personal warhorse that's here to help you soldier on through the harshest storms winter has to offer.
Armed to the teeth with an aggressive array of studs, the Hakkapeliitta 8 grips slick or frozen roads with unrelenting traction. That means you can keep rolling no matter how foul the weather gets.
But just because the Hakkapeliitta 8 is studded doesn't mean you need to sacrifice the comfort and joy of a winter road trip.
Thanks to Nokian's break-through eco stud design, you can count on clawing grip that's dampened on clear roads, for surprising comfort from a studded tire. Plus, the stud arrangement is computer-optimized to ensure more consistent stud contact, allowing for a massive increase in the total number of studs available on the surface of its tread.
Other performance features of the Hakkapeliitta 8 Studded include:
- Practically telepathic steering response on dry roads provided by its reinforced center tread area and interlocking 3D sipes.
- Without sacrificing durability, its Cryo-Silane Gen 2 tread compound ensures flexibility and grip no matter how far the mercury dips below 45.
- Its aggressive directional tread pattern with sweeping grooves clears slush and water for peerless performance in any winter driving condition.
- For added grip in snow, the tread blocks are built with Nokian's Brake Booster, a saw-toothed pattern on the rear edge of the tread blocks for effective braking grip.
Nokian Hakkapeliitta 8 Treadwear and Warranty
Thanks to decades researching tire performance in the Arctic Circle, Nokian has developed tires that are optimized for performance in Scandinavian winters. The Hakkapeliitta 8 delivers that and then some.
And thanks to the 3D interlocking sipes and reinforced center tread area of your Nokian winter tires, you can also count on resistance to uneven treadwear. That means many seasons of cutting-edge winter performance.
As with most winter tires, the Hakkapeliitta 8 is not backed by a mileage warranty. But if you want protection that will go to battle for your new winter tires, consider our exclusive Certificates.
With your safety in mind, our Certificates cover your tires in case of hazardous road conditions. Although it's unlikely, if your tires fail or are damaged beyond repair, we'll get you back on the road with a brand new replacement Hakkapeliitta.
(You can add our Certificate coverage in the cart of your order.)
You can be prepared for the worst winter weather while staying ready to enjoy the drive when you outfit your vehicle with our exclusive tire: the Nokian Hakkapeliitta 8 studded snow tire.

I mean, they're snow tires. Slightly easier to spin on dry roads, but unbelievably better on snow and ice. I wouldn't drive down I-70 in the winter without them!
