Nokian Nordman RS2

Winter tires, like the Nordman 5 7 SX2, have been specially developed for use in difficult conditions Polar region. The model is characterized by:

  • handling and traction with icy and snow-covered surfaces with a complex of technological solutions and modern materials in the manufacture;
  • efficiency at low temperatures caused by a rubber compound containing silica on a cryosilane base;
  • shortened leg length braking distance thanks to the slats in the shoulder blocks;
  • drying the road surface by sucking water into the drop-shaped cavities;
  • increased resistance to slashplenning created by the teeth on the lateral surfaces of the shoulder blocks;
  • improved grip on slippery winter surfaces, obtained by increasing the density of the sipes.

Car owners claim that rubber cannot cope with slush and ice, especially deep snow. Poor braking and a shaky start on ice are noted.

Nokian Hakapelita tires 8

In our country, this rubber from a Finnish manufacturer is purchased by the owners of off-road vehicles and crossovers. Pros:


  • Excellent traction on snowy and icy surfaces, which is facilitated by an optimized V-shaped tread design with a symmetrically directional pattern;
  • increased directional stability and efficiency in braking and acceleration due to the wide center rib having triangular edges;
  • improved grip on icy surfaces due to a large number of multidirectional S-shaped sipes and the use of a square stud.

Car owners count rubber Nokian Hakkapeliitta 8 expensive and noisy, even buzzing on clean asphalt, reports the loss of studs and uncertain braking on the asphalt.

Nokian Hakka Green 2

Summer tires Hakka Green were created by Finnish tire manufacturers using developments and technical solutions that have manifested themselves well on other types of rubber. Pros:

  • significantly improved the stability of the grip at high speeds and reduced fuel consumption, which became possible due to the low weight and increased rigidity of the belt;
  • counteraction to aquaplaning due to the transverse grooves in the shoulder zones of the feather shape, and in the longitudinal ones, the inner walls are curved;
  • reduced noise and low-frequency vibrations generated by the steel cord thanks to the additional layer in the tire sidewalls.


Judging by the reviews of motorists, Nokian Hakka Green 2 tires are noisy, differ low level wear resistance, have a soft sidewall that is not puncture resistant.

Nokian Hakkapeliitta 9 SUV

The model is focused on equipping powerful crossovers and SUVs. According to the manufacturer, these tires:

  • demonstrate the ease of overcoming icy areas, which is due to the innovative studding, which includes several types of studs;
  • created on the basis of the Hakkapeliitta 7 model, thereby obtaining all its best qualities;
  • create a comfortable driving environment due to the Eco Stud System, which suppresses noise and compensates for vibrations;
  • have excellent control, the reason for which is an effective self-cleaning system and the presence of self-locking sipes, coupled with brake boosters.

From the point of view of vehicle owners, the Hakkapeliitta 9 SUV tires exhibit swelling on asphalt, floats in a slush and has a very soft sidewall.



Nokian hakka blue 2

Finnish manufacturer summer tires This brand positions them as a commercially successful product that combines a relatively low price with sufficient performance and demonstrates:

  • optimal elasticity for a wide temperature range due to the new compound;
  • reduced heating of the tread with reduced wear and rolling resistance due to the addition of pine oil to the composition;
  • reduced specific pressure on the surface area, its uniform distribution, increased resource, improved controllability and good grip by increasing the rigidity of the belt and optimizing the tread profile.

Among the disadvantages of Hakka Blue 2 tires, motorists emphasize increased wear.

Nokian Hakkapeliitta 9 - innovative technology at the service of your clutch

The northernmost tire manufacturer and also the creator of the first winter tire continues to amaze. The company's engineers have created an innovative studding technology. The technology on which the new product is built - NokianHakkapeliitta 9... This is a lightweight winter tire, in which the manufacturer has applied a unique and already patented method of studding and which demonstrates excellent grip and braking on snowy and icy surfaces.

State-of-the-art technology in the Nokian Hakkapeliitta 9 tire

Nokian is renowned for its creative approach to product design. Engineers have applied "strong" technologies that can make the rubber obey the steering wheel and brake quickly in winter:

1. Two types of functional spikes... The main innovation of the tire is the updated studs. On the central tread area, the developers have placed elements that stabilize grip and handling in straight-line driving. They also provide fast braking and acceleration from a standstill. The shoulder zones have acquired a second type of spikes: such elements maintain contact with the road when maneuvering on ice. The joint work of thorns gives excellent result- full control on winter surfaces.

2. Drainage system... If the spikes make contact, the drainage system maintains it. Engineers stripped it of the longitudinal channels and replaced them with a network of cuts in the form of lightning, diverging from the center to the shoulder areas. It turned out that the system expanded over the entire tread surface. The large volume allows it to remove massive streams of water and snow slush. This prevents aquaplaning and maintains traction.

3. Optimized tread pattern... The developers have optimized the arrangement of the blocks. This made it possible to evenly distribute the external pressure over the contact patch. The feature reduced rolling resistance and increased resistance to uneven wear. The first property manifests itself in practice as increased fuel efficiency, acoustic comfort and reduced CO2 emissions.

The Nokian Hakkapeliitta 9 tire is a reliable solution for the harsh northern winter. The engineers prepared the product well for driving on snow and ice. The tire will provide comfort and safety on all winter surfaces.

Concern Nokian Tires has announced the release of a new winter tire in the Hakkapeliitta range - Nokian Hakkapeliitta 9. The novelty has incorporated all the advantages and has been seriously redesigned to make driving even easier, more comfortable and safe. Main advantages: reliable grip on any winter tracks, good handling, low noise and reduced fuel consumption. The company's engineers have spent over four years developing and testing the nine. She was tested in the most extreme conditions at the Nokian Tires White Hell training ground, located above the Arctic Circle in the town of Ivalo.

New studding technology - a guarantee of reliable grip

In addition to good longitudinal grip, the functional studding system gives drivers excellent lateral grip on snow or ice covered roads. For bus used two kinds of thorns- for the central part of the tread and for the shoulder areas (see picture). The first ones are made with a core wide in the longitudinal direction. It provides the largest grip area. The chamfered edge plunges the stud deep into the ice layer, which enhances braking grip and improves lateral grip. The shoulder studs have a triaxial carbide stud to withstand high lateral loads. When cornering, the cleat edge always occupies the largest contact area, enhancing lateral grip.


Precise contact of the Nokian Hakkapeliitta 9 pins is achieved with the concept Eco Stud 9... It is based on the presence of two studs of different shapes, a shock-absorbing Eco Stud layer, which softens the contact of the stud with the surface, an air space in the center of the flange, which reduces the effect of the stud on the canvas, and beveled wear-resistant elements of the central studs. The beveled cores of the studs (see photo) disperse the impact over a larger area. The Eco Stud 9 concept reduces the impact on the road surface, plus the tire is quieter than its predecessors.

Nokian Hakkapeliitta 9 Tread


The crisp tread pattern is deeply cut by supporting 3D sipes that help improve handling in snow. These sipes connect the tread blocks to each other in contact with the road, improving handling when cornering and maneuvering. Aggressive deep snow traction enhancers in the shoulder areas add extra stability.

The grip on the icy road is enhanced by the use of a new rubber compound combining safety and environmental friendliness. The main components are silica, rapeseed oil, natural rubber and a new biomaterial Green elasto proof, which helps the rubber not to "harden" even at very low temperatures.

The Nokian Hakkapeliitta 9 has a tread with a wear indicator - Driving Safety Indicator (DSI)... The residual tread depth is displayed on the center of the tire. When the groove depth is less than 4 mm, the winter safety indicator in the form of a snowflake disappears - Winter Safety Indicator (WSI)- visible as long as the groove depth is at least 4 mm. When it wears off, the manufacturer recommends replacing the rubber.

Stable control in all conditions

The company's specialists took into account that winter tires should provide excellent grip and handling even on asphalt, free of snow and ice. According to Juha Pirhonen, Vice President of Research and Development at Nokian Tires, “The stability in handling was achieved thanks to the Stability support network pattern, in which the level of the elastic base layer of the tread is closer to the contact patch and forms the bottom of the tread grooves and base of tread blocks with sipes. Thanks to this arrangement of the base layer, the blocks become more elastic and stable, which gives stability when driving on the Nokian Hakkapeliitta 9 "tire.

The heavy-duty steel belt strap makes the tire structure lightweight and durable for precise handling, even at high speeds. Updated rubber compound Special Clinch in the bead area increases wear resistance and makes driving more comfortable.

Nokian Hakkapeliitta 9 tires are available in 52 sizes from 14 to 20 inches, and are designed for small, medium and large family, SUV and sports cars.

They will go on sale in the Russian Federation by the fall of 2017.

Sergey Vasiliev, Autoclub78

Nokian Hakkapeliitta 9 tires have the following advantages:

  • unique studding concept for secure grip;
  • stable, balanced handling;
  • minimum level noise;
  • low fuel consumption.

This is the first in the world winter tires with revolutionary stud technology, which uses 2 types of studs. Winter tires has improved grip and elevated level handling on wet or slippery roads. Each of the types of studs used is located in a certain area of ​​the tread. The load on the road depends on the zone.

Thanks to the innovative biomaterial Green Elasto Proof rubber the mixture remains flexible at low temperatures. Rapeseed oil makes it tear-resistant. Long-lasting chemical bonds help the mixture create reliable traction year after year, even as mileage increases. The engineers provided Eco Stud System shock absorbers. They are responsible for the softness of the stroke, help to suppress noise.

Increased cross-country ability tires on difficult snow-covered trails depend on the drainage system to operate flawlessly. The design includes brake boosters and self-locking sipes. Their joint work creates comfortable conditions for overcoming difficult sections. winter roads.

Recognition by professionals

The presented model is the winner of AutoReview 17/2018 and Za Rulem 9/2018 tests. Auto experts noted high grip performance, smooth ride, fuel efficiency, cross-country ability in deep snow, accuracy of adherence to the planned course.

In comparative tests Auto Review the last couple of years the best winter tires Nokian Hakkapeliitta 8 studded tires invariably became. And I managed to get acquainted with their successors Hakkapeliitta 9 even before the official premiere.

I assumed that the Finnish tire workers would put the spikes on the glue on the new model, as the creators of the Continental IceContact 2 tires did. They chose a different path: they used two types of studs. Yes, special sports tires are sometimes studded according to this scheme, but double studding is used for the first time in serial "civilian" tires.

Of course, both the tread pattern and the rubber compound have undergone changes in the "nine". However, the main innovation is in studding. In the middle part of the tread there are studs with a transversely oriented carbide insert: these effectively work in the longitudinal direction and are responsible for acceleration and braking on ice. And on the sides there are trefoil-shaped spikes: they are responsible for the transverse grip properties and handling characteristics on ice. At the same time, the total number of studs, compared to the previous model, even decreased: in 16-inch tires there are now 172 of them against the previous 190.

Simultaneously with tires for conventional passenger cars a modification of the "nine" for crossovers and SUVs is entering the market. In addition to the size range, it is distinguished by additional bridges connecting the shoulder blocks of the tread, a different rubber composition and a more durable aramid-reinforced carcass. Moreover, in tires with the SUV index, the spikes are more powerful, their body is a millimeter higher. It was these tires of dimension 215/65 R16 that took part in our comparative test by car Renault Kaptur... The opponents of the new model Hakkapeliitta 9 are 13 studded competitors, among which are relatively inexpensive products of domestic tire manufacturers and imported top models. An interesting detail: the overhang we measured, that is, the protrusion of the studs above the tread surface, in new Nokian tire The Hakkapeliitta 9 turned out to be quite modest - an average of 1.1 mm. But after running in, the spikes took a more aggressive position - 1.5 mm, that is, exactly along the upper border of compliance with the Russian technical regulations(1.2 ± 0.3 mm).

The first test results suggest that the Nokian Hakkapeliitta 9 outperforms competitors in grip on ice. However, let's not get ahead of ourselves: in addition to tests on ice, tests on rolled and freshly fallen snow and on asphalt are also taken into account. The work has not yet been completed, and we will present the final conclusions to the judgment of Autoreview readers and viewers of our YouTube channel in early autumn - when the massive sales of Nokian Hakkapeliitta 9 tires begin. number and on Russian plant Nokian Tires near St. Petersburg) has already started, and the first batches of new tires have begun to be shipped to dealers.
