Nokian unveils new drive axle truck tyre

Nokian Heavy Tyres is introducing an entirely new drive axle tyre for all-year cargo and coach traffic on medium and long haul journeys.

The Nokian Hakka Truck Drive is intended for varying Central European and Nordic weather conditions. The new drive axle tyre offers excellent wear resistance, grip and driving stability without any compromises. The Nokian Hakka Truck Drive supplements the Nokian Hakka Truck product family that already offers tyres for the steer axle and trailer.
 
The many innovations of the Nokian Hakka Truck Drive guarantee stable handling and grip in snow and rain alike. The new semi-open shoulder supports the rolling of the tyre and adds to driving stability without compromising on grip.

The V-shaped tread pattern improves the cleaning of the grooves and prevents them from filling up with slush and snow. This allows the tyre to maintain grip even on slushy surfaces. The additional grooves that appear as the tyre wears down and the Self-Generating Siping allow the tread to retain its properties even as the kilometres add up.
 
The first two sizes, 315/70 R22.5 and 315/80 R22.5, will become available throughout Europe during the spring and summer 2015. In 2016, the size selection will expand to 295/80 R22.5.
