As the world’s northernmost tyre manufacturer, Nokian Tyres has been specializing in winter tyres since inventing them in 1934.
Nokian Tyres has been steadily extending its truck and bus tyre offering. Today, there is a comprehensive range of tyres for all axle positions and from local transports to extreme winter roads. The peak of Nokian Tyres winter know-how is the Hakkapeliitta Truck family.
The Nokian Tyres Hakkapeliitta Truck E2 traction winter tyres bring comfort and confidence for safe working in extreme snow plowing and timber transport work, minimizing the need for chains. They offer the next generation of winter grip, longevity, durability and a low rolling resistance.
Nokian Tyres Hakkapeliitta Truck F2 tyre is the culmination of Nokians long experience in developing the world’s finest steering axle winter tyres. It is designed for medium and long haul transports on snowy forest roads as well as icy highways.
Nokian Tyres Hakkapeliitta Truck T tyre is a top-of-the-line trailer tyre for demanding winter conditions. Its wide zigzag-shape grooves improve self-cleaning and grip on snow.
Retreading truck tyres leads to remarkable savings both financially and in terms of using less raw materials and producing less greenhouse gasses. A re-treaded truck tyre uses some 70 litres less oil and produces 180 kg (397 lb) less carbon emissions than a new tyre. What’s more, a premium quality tyre casing can be retreaded two or even three times, further reducing its environmental effect.
With Noktop premium retreading, the user will not have to compromise excellent winter properties as they offer the same tread designs as the finest Nokian Tyres winter truck tyres. The Noktop retreading materials are also produced in an ultramodern, ecologically optimized facility in Finland.
An innovation shared between the best Nokian Tyres winter tyres and Noktop retreads have been optimized for changing seasons by using a two-layer Cap/Base -structure. The tread is composed of two layers: the softer upper layer (cap) gives a good winter grip. When the tyres are installed in autumn, the upper layer wears out by the next spring and exposes the harder rubber compound (base) that gives sturdy handling for summer use. Source
