Here's how our studded tire delivers the next generation of winter safety

The most extreme winter roads demand the most hardcore winter tires. Enter the Nokian Tyres Hakkapeliitta 10, the newest release in our vaunted line of studded winter products. It represents the next generation of winter safety, the latest step in a legacy we've spent nearly nine decades building.

"Considering it comes from the northernmost tire manufacturer, which has plenty of snow and icy roads to test them on, the Hakkapeliitta range benefits from some of the most intensive development and testing cycles in the industry," AutoEvolution said in a piece about the tire.

They're one of many independent experts and popular publications to sing the tire's praises. 

Famed tire reviewer Jonathan Benson used the Hakkapellitta 10 as his reference tire for a non-studded tire test. In other words, it was the benchmark for how tires should perform in extreme winter. How did it do? In his review, he said it “absolutely dominated ice braking and traction on smooth ice, which is the sort of ice you see at junctions.”
