Harsh winter conditions set special demands for trailer tires as well. Particularly lateral and braking grip are needed when hauling a timber trailer on small forest roads or moving heavy loads on curly mountain roads covered with ice. According to the company, the new Nokian Hakkapeliitta Truck T gives you more confidence in these extreme circumstances.

“The Nokian Hakkapeliitta Truck T is designed to replace the classic Nokian NTR-827 tire,” says Nokian Heavy Tyres Product Manager Teppo Siltanen.

These winter tires feature a new design, including the new wide zigzag-shape grooves that improve self-cleaning and grip on snow. There is also a new type of trapeze-shaped siping that keeps its grip even when worn, and a new strong shoulder design that does not mind tight cornering, the company said. When extreme winter grip is needed, the Nokian Hakkapeliitta Truck T can easily be studded with its marked stud places.

“It’s important that the grip lasts the tire lifetime,” Siltanen points out. The tire is suitable for all-year use when installed in the autumn. Other products in the Nokian Hakkapeliitta Truck range include the drive axle tires Nokian Hakkapeliitta Truck D and E as well as the steering axle tires Nokian Hakkapeliitta Truck F2.

“Nokian Hakkapeliitta Truck T tire has a low rolling resistance and low tire noise,” says Siltanen. “We value both the comfort of driving and the environment.”
