Nokian Tire Hakkapeliitta 8 SUV Studdable
Few driving conditions are as challenging as when the roads are blanketed in snow or coated in ice. Are you ready?
Rise to the challenge of winter driving with our exclusive SUV/truck snow tire, the Nokian Hakkapeliitta 8 SUV studdable.
Nokian Hakkapeliitta 8 SUV Studdable Features
From one of the first names in winter tire safety comes the Nokian Hakkapeliitta 8 SUV, a studdable winter tire that’s designed to help you conquer challenging winter streets. Engineered to withstand the brutal winters in Scandinavia, the Hakkapeliitta 8 SUV will help your vehicle stay formidable and mobile this winter.
Built on the foundation of previous Hakkapeliitta tires, the Hakkapeliitta 8 SUV keeps you in control even when the temperatures drop to Arctic numbers thanks to its Cryo-Silane Gen 2 winter compound.
Fancy-sounding name aside, this tread compound isn’t messing around. It ensures that the Hakkapeliitta 8 stays pliable in ice-cold temperatures, adhering to the road regardless of the cold. The weather may turn treacherous, but you can count on the Hakkapeliitta 8 SUV for faithful performance no matter what.
Is that the only advanced element this Nokian snow tire features?
Absolutely not! This futuristic rubber compound is shaped into an aggressive directional tread pattern that slices through slush and water. It simultaneously packs snow into its grooves for snow-on-snow grip that will help your vehicle stay planted no matter how deep the powder gets. And for added confidence on ice, the Hakkapeliitta 8 SUV is pinned for the use of studs.
Other performance features of the Hakkapeliitta 8 SUV include:
- Interlocking sipes that provide thousands of extra biting edges for glue-like traction on ice and snow.
- Additional steering precision provided by the solid center rib area.
- Load-carrying stability and resistance to punctures and sidewall damage are provided by the aramid fiber-reinforced sidewalls.
- The sawtooth pattern on the shoulder blocks provides serious stopping power on ice and snow.
- Approved for use in extreme winter weather, this tire is backed by the 3-Peak Mountain Snowflake Rating.
Nokian Hakkapeliitta 8 SUV Studdable Treadwear and Warranty
Never ones for compromise, Nokian optimized the tread surface of the Hakkapeliitta 8 SUV to maintain its shape under pressure. With the added stability of the interlocking sipes and large shoulder blocks, the Hakka 8 SUV resists uneven treadwear and provides long-lasting performance (for a winter tire).
While you can already feel quite confident driving on a set of these snow tires, if you want extra protection for your new Nokian winter tires, consider covering them with our exclusive Certificates.
Covering them against road hazard damage, your tires will be protected from mile one all the way to 3/32’’ of treadwear. And if your tires are damaged beyond safe repair, we’ll get you back on the road as quickly as we can with a brand new replacement.
(You can add our Certificate coverage in the cart of your order.)

Best winter tires I have ever had. These are replacement for the same tires that were installed 4 years ago. I was able to get 30k miles out of this tire with excellent snow and ice traction. Much better than blizzaks which last me only 1 season.

No slipping or sliding with these tires as compared to regular all season tires. I will be using them every winter until I wear them out. I gave the tread life 3 stars simply because I don't honestly know???? As I said, I will use these tires as my winter set until worn out.
