Winter weather often brings ice, slush, and snow along with lower temperatures, which can make driving more difficult than it needs to be. Fortunately, winter tires are engineered to perform in these conditions and the Hakkapeliitta C4 from Nokian Tyres does that and more for drivers of commercial vans and RVs. Pinned with stainless steel square studs that increase traction and are engineered to resist corrosion and wear from salted roads and moisture, the Hakkapeliitta C4's variable siping and large tread blocks bite into the road to further enhance traction and grip. A directional tread pattern boosts grip and stability and forces water, slush, and melting snow out of the tread to reduce the risk of hydroplaning, and the Hakkapeliitta C4's computer optimized design and stud distribution reduce road noises and vibrations to create a quiet, comfortable ride. The Hakkapeliitta C4 also utilizes a tough rubber compound and Aramid Sidewalls that improve strength and durability for a higher load carrying capacity and to protect the tire against curbing, cuts, chips, abrasions, and other damage.
