Double action stud technology

FOR ON-DEMAND GRIP

Patented Double Action Stud Technology is the heart of the Hakkapeliitta 01. When driving on ice and snow, the studs dig deeper into the surface for extra traction and control. When driving conditions change from icy to bare, the adaptive base compound softens and the studs retreat, reducing road wear and improving contact on dry surfaces.

Double stud technology

PURPOSE-BUILT STUD PLACEMENT FOR ENHANCED CONTROL

Two distinct stud types work in dedicated zones. Center studs sharpen braking and acceleration grip on straight roads, while shoulder studs maximize cornering traction and stability through lane changes. The new stud geometry enables deeper penetration of icy surfaces, improving ice grip compared to previous generations.

Snow Grooves & 3D Sipes

CONTROLLED HANDLING AND STABLE PERFORMANCE

Deep snow grooves on the shoulder areas provide additional grip when moving onto deep snow. Self-locking 3D sipes reinforce tread blocks during road contact, supporting the tire's structure when cornering hard or responding to sudden maneuvers so drivers stay confidently in control when conditions change without warning.

Aramid strong sidewalls

DURABILITY AND PUNCTURE RESISTANCE

Select Hakkapeliitta 01 sizes feature Aramid Strong Sidewalls. The sidewalls are reinforced with exceptionally strong aramid fibers to help the tire better withstand impacts from potholes, curbs, and road debris.

SilentDrive™ Technology

FOR YOUR DRIVING COMFORT

A selection of sizes include SilentDrive™ Technology, which absorbs disruptive noise frequencies and delivers a more comfortable, relaxed driving experience on all surfaces.

Predictability you can count on

A Safer Grip Limit — More Time to React

The greatest challenges in wintry and hazardous driving conditions are consistent braking performance and reliable grip when cornering on ice-packed roads. The Nokian Tyres Hakkapeliitta 01's Double Stud Technology widens the grip threshold, giving drivers more warning before the limit is reached and more confidence when reacting to sudden hazards.

All studs are precisely placed and positioned using state-of-the-art studding technology. The new stud geometry ensures optimal contact angles on every surface, whether the road is glassy ice, packed snow, or wet pavement transitioning between conditions.

Better for roads. better for drivers

Up to 30% Less Road Wear — Without Compromising Safety

Studded tires and road surfaces have always had a complicated relationship. The Hakkapeliitta 01's Double Action Stud Technology addresses this directly: when studs are not needed — on bare, dry, or warmer winter roads — they retract into the tread compound, significantly reducing abrasive contact with asphalt. The result is up to 30% less road wear compared to the previous generation.

This is engineering that benefits everyone. Drivers enjoy longer-lasting tires and roads experience less wear, making the Hakkapeliitta 01 a more sustainable choice for demanding northern winters.

Winter confidence without the winter noise

Smooth, Quiet, and Composed in Every Condition

The Nokian Tyres Hakkapeliitta 01 reduces interior noise by up to one decibel compared to its predecessor, a meaningful improvement that makes long winter drives noticeably more relaxed. The optimized stud layout is designed to prevent disruptive noise frequency peaks, absorbing impact sound through the tread and tire structure before it reaches the vehicle cabin.

On select sizes, SilentDrive™ Technology provides an additional layer of acoustic comfort, reinforcing the Hakkapeliitta 01's reputation as the quietest and most composed studded winter tire Nokian Tyres has ever made.
