Nokian Winter - Lineup at a glance

Where each model sits, what it is tuned for, and how the models trade off

Nokian's current winter car range splits into two families: the Central-European Snowproof line, led by the performance Snowproof 3P and the comfort-and-safety Snowproof 2, and the Nordic Hakkapeliitta line headed by the non-studded Hakkapeliitta R5 for the harshest snow and ice. The Snowproof models balance autobahn handling with winter grip, while the Hakkapeliitta is built for true Nordic conditions.
