Premium Touring Winter

Replaces the Nokian Hakkapeliitta 10

The Hakkapeliitta 01 is Nokian's studded winter tire for the Nordic market and North America, replacing the Hakkapeliitta 10. Its studs sit on a temperature-sensitive base compound that lets them sink into the tread on warm asphalt and stand slightly prouder in the cold, which Nokian says cuts road wear by up to 30 per cent while improving ice grip and lowering noise.

2026 Teknikens Värld Studded, Nordic and Central European Winter Tire Test P4 of 7Studded Winter Tires

The Nokian Hakkapeliitta 01 finished fourth of the seven studded tires. It is still good on ice and snow, but it does not match the tire it replaces, and the early tread damage is a concern.
