Nokian Tire Hakkapeliitta R3 SUV
All of the ferocity of a Finnish warrior packaged into a winter-ready tire that can carry your SUV through even the harshest of Nordic winters: the Nokian Hakkapeliitta R3 SUV snow tire.
Nokian Hakkapeliitta R3 SUV Features
It may not feature studs, but the Hakkapeliitta R3 SUV comes bearing enough arms to help you stay planted on frozen winter streets (even when they’re covered in ice and snow). If there was ever a tire designed with your SUV’s winter performance in mind, this is it.
One of the first weapons in this tire’s arsenal? The multi-faceted snow claws.
Notches built into the Hakkapeliitta R3 SUV’s tread blocks, the snow claws cut into ice and pack snow deep into the grooves, giving you balanced grip when braking and accelerating on ice and snow.
But don’t worry, that’s not the only heat this winter tire is packing.
Built with Nokian’s unique Arctic Sense Grip concept, this tire’s tread design leverages multiple sipe patterns and their Cryo Crystal 3 grip particles. The variable sipe design allows for multi-angled grip, giving you responsive maneuverability on ice and snow. And those crystal particles built into the rubber compound? They act like microscopic studs, adhering to your driving surface, even when it’s coated in a dangerous layer of ice.
Other performance features of the Hakkapeliitta R3 SUV include:
- Approved for use in extreme winter conditions, this tire features the 3-Peak Mountain Snowflake Rating.
- Aramid-reinforced sidewalls provide additional stability and resistance to sidewall damage, giving you extra peace of mind on those wintry streets.
- Clearing slush and water away with ease, this tire features a directional tread pattern and sweeping lateral grooves.
- The solid center rib and wide outer shoulder blocks ensure stable highway handling and linear steering control.
Nokian Hakkapeliitta R3 SUV Treadwear and Warranty
Not just designed to excel in Arctic weather conditions, the Hakkapeliitta R3 SUV is optimized to evenly support the weight of your SUV without distorting the tread pattern. Meanwhile, interlocking sipes provide stability and resistance to uneven treadwear.
This means long-lasting and unrelenting winter traction for your SUV.
Although it isn’t backed by a mileage warranty, you can invest in our exclusive Certificates. Designed to ease your mind when you’re behind the wheel, our Certificates will cover your new Nokian winter tires all the way down to 3/32’’ of treadwear.
And if your tires suffer any damage that we can’t safely repair, we’ll get you back on the road with a brand new replacement tire. That’s peace of mind that doesn’t need a mileage guarantee.
(You can add our Certificate coverage in the cart of your order.)
Ascend to the pinnacle of winter performance by outfitting your SUV with a set of Nokian Hakkapeliitta R3 SUV winter tires.

Haven same tires on SQ5
Sienna
Previous car burned through tires and these were no exception. Current car is easier much easier on tires. Think about this. One good spin out requiring a tow will cost you in body damage and getting rescued the cost of a good set of traction tires, let alone the inconvenience of getting stuck and delaying yourself and other people on the road. Don’t be the one that causes delays on the road.
RX350
So much better thn blizak tires, not once ABS brakes came on die to tire slipping on icy road.
Grand Cherokee
This is my second set having read multiple reviews. If safest tire on ice is desired this is it. I’ve driven only when critical on glare ice when no one else ventured out. They got me there and back when others slid to the side of toad. Incredible tire. Lived up to its billing. Expensive and worth it.
