Nokian Tyres launches four new products to bring peace of mind for professional drivers.
The Nokian Hakkapeliitta Truck tyre range is the Nokian Tyres’ flagship winter tire product line for trucks. Featuring tyres for every axle position, Nokian Hakkapeliitta Truck tyres work even in the most severe winter conditions. The new Nokian Hakkapeliitta Truck F2 XL tyre is a special “Extra Load” version of Nokian Hakkapeliitta Truck F2, carrying front axle loads of up to 10 metric tons. The tyre offers steady handling and superior grip even in extreme winter conditions and adds large load-bearing capacity needed for the most demanding timber truck.
The Nokian Hakka Truck Steer is a front axle tyre for good handling in different main road conditions. Made for long and medium haul, the Nokian Hakka Truck Steer tyre has the 3PMSF marking and was first released in 2017. A new size, 385/55R22.5, further expands the applications of the Nokian Hakka Truck Steer. Following the new release, the Nokian Hakka Truck series will also expand to 60 series sizes by the end of 2019, both for front and drive axle use.
Tyre retreading is comparable to manufacturing a new tyre, and a premium quality tyre carcass can be retreaded up to 2 times. The process is strictly controlled by legislation and authorities, saving money, raw materials and environment. The latest addition to the Nokian Noktop tyre retreading selection is the Nokian Noktop 75 Super, which has a tyre tread design similar to on and off-road trailer tyre Nokian R-Truck Trailer. Nokian Noktop 75 Super is meant for retreading wide super single trailer tyres used in heavy earthmoving, timber transport and other applications on and off the road. Its tread pattern is optimized for local and medium-haul on rough surfaces. The new retreads fit tyre carcass sizes 385/65R22.5 and 385/55R22.5. Featuring 3PMSF marking, these tyre treads have good self-cleaning properties on soft surfaces. Replacing the old Nokian Noktop 63 Super, the new retreading material will be available in early 2019. Later this year, there will be also retreading treads for 265/70R19.5 and 275/70R22.5 tyre carcasses for dual tyre fitting. Source
