Nokian Tire Hakkapeliitta R2


The Nokian Hakkapeliitta R2 delivers comfort and safety on challenging winter roads so you can enjoy your ride no matter the weather.

Nokian Hakkapeliitta R2 Features

True studless winter control is here with the Nokian Hakkapeliitta R2. From one of the leading winter tire manufacturers comes a snow tire designed to transform your vehicle into a confident winter champion. You can expect stellar traction on any winter road when you roll on the Hakkapeliitta R2.

Its legendary traction on ice is provided by Nokian’s Cryo Crystal tread compound. These diamond-tough crystal particles dig into ice and snow, providing grip no matter how cold it gets. This cutting-edge tread compound is molded into an aggressive directional tread pattern that cuts through the mess to grip the streets.

And the winter-focused features on the R2 don’t stop there.

Other performance features of the Hakkapeliitta R2 include:

  • A solid center rib that provides constant contact with the road for responsive handling on dry winter roads.
  • 3-Peak Mountain Snowflake Rating, certifying that this tire meets the Rubber Manufacturer Association’s requirements for use in extreme winter weather.
  • Delivering strong grip on wet roads, this tire is built with pump-like sipes on the outside shoulder blocks.
  • To avoid losing control in slush-covered streets, triangle-shaped slush penetrators on the shoulder area claw into and clear slush.

Nokian Hakkapeliitta R2 Treadwear and Warranty

With decades spent refining their winter tires in the Arctic North, Nokian optimized the R2 for dependability in all winter weather. It’s built with interlocking sipes and a solid center rib. These features stabilize its tread pattern, helping the Hakkapeliitta R2 to reduce the risk of uneven treadwear. That gives you many winters of stable performance and dependable traction.

As the Hakkapeliitta R2 is optimized for winter performance, it isn’t backed by a mileage warranty. But you can always protect your snow tires against winter road hazards by investing in our exclusive Certificates. 

Designed for peace of mind in the face of any weather, our Certificates will cover your new Nokian winter tires all the way down to 3/32’’ of treadwear.

If your Hakkapeliitta R2 tires take any damage that our tire experts can’t safely repair, we’ll get you set up with a brand new replacement tire. 

You can add our Certificate coverage in the cart of your order.

You don’t have to sacrifice ride comfort to get control in brutal winter weather. Outfit your vehicle with a set of Nokian Hakkapeliitta R2 winter tires and confidently face whatever winter brings your way.

I used studded tires for years and recently switched to HAKKAPELIITTA R2's. I thought I would miss the studs but I can say that I have. These tires seem to do just as well on snow and ice and are certainly quieter and do much less damage to roads.
