Nokian Hakkapeliitta LT3 is a studded premium SUV and 4x4 tyre for winter conditions. It is defined by first-class safety, strength and stability.
The tyre delivers outstanding winter grip and driving stability, and a robust construction. It is designed for demanding winter use and is reliable and safe on snow-covered roads. Deeper grooves improve the self-cleaning of the tread. New stainless steel studs are longer than their predecessors and last longer. New stud technology performs better when skidding sideways and forwards and shortens braking distances on ice.

Special tyre reinforcement
The images show the difference between a standard tyre and the sidewalls of a Nokian tyre that are specially reinforced with aramid. Aramid is a class of heat-resistant, strong synthetic fibres used in, among other things, aircraft, boats and bulletproof vests.
Nokian Aramid sidewall reinforcement saves lives
Aramid sidewall reinforcement increases the tyre's durability and protects it in unexpected situations. The sidewalls are made from an exceptionally durable compound containing extremely strong aramid fibres, so they can better withstand external stresses.
