The new Hakkapeliitta 10 range comes with an array of new features, including an innovative tread pattern and multifunctional siping to improve snow traction and lower noise levels, a stiffened centre rib to improve steering feel and speed, new compound to improve overall wet grip, and advanced multidirectional studs which sit on a cushion of softer rubber and air to improve grip on ice, cause less damage to the road surface, and further lower the noise levels. In addition, the Hakkapeliitta 10 SUV has a high aramid blend carcass to give the tyre a stronger resistance to the types of punctures you might experience when using the tyres off-road, while the Hakkapeliitta 10 EV comes fitted with "Silent Drive" sound absorbing technology by default, lowing peak dB in the cabin by up to 6 dB, and a stronger structure for the extra weight and torque of electric vehicles.
