Nokian Hakkapeliitta R3 SUV Features It may not feature studs, but the Hakkapeliitta R3 SUV comes bearing enough arms to help you stay planted on frozen winter streets (even when they’re covered in ice and snow). If there was ever a tire designed with your SUV’s winter performance in mind, this is it.  One of the first weapons in this tire’s arsenal? The multi-faceted snow claws. Notches built into the Hakkapeliitta R3 SUV’s tread blocks, the snow claws cut into ice and pack snow deep into the grooves, giving you balanced grip when braking and accelerating on ice and snow.

They act like microscopic studs, adhering to your driving surface, even when it’s coated in a dangerous layer of ice.  Other performance features of the Hakkapeliitta R3 SUV include: Approved for use in extreme winter conditions, this tire features the 3-Peak Mountain Snowflake Rating.

Nokian Hakkapeliitta R3 SUV: what the numbers tell you

Manufacturer treadwear data for the Hakkapeliitta R3 SUV is not publicly listed. This is common for OEM-only or track-day tires that don't carry a US treadwear warranty. No mileage warranty is published for this tire, which is typical for performance summer and track-day rubber where the manufacturer doesn't make wear-life claims.

Cabin noise data for this tire is not published by the manufacturer. As a winter tire built for the truck-suv segment, the Hakkapeliitta R3 SUV is positioned against direct rivals within the same category. Comparing it to a tire in a different category (e.g. summer vs all-season) makes the spec sheet misleading because the design targets are not the same.
