Driving on icy, slushy, snowy, and frozen roads can be difficult as these conditions make it harder for tires to grip the road. Fortunately, winter tires are designed with a flexible rubber compound that allows them to perform in these conditions, and the Hakkapeliitta CR4 from Nokian does that and more for drivers of commercial pickup and delivery vans thanks to MultiTouch technology that improves handling on icy, snowy, and wet roads by creating additional biting edges. Large, open grooves force water and slush out of the tread to reduce the risk of slushplaning and hydroplaning, and the Hakkapeliitta CR4's Sipe Activators on the shoulders and center of the tread widen and open an additional sipe to provide grip in extreme winter weather. Brake Boosters on the front and rear of the tread blocks further enhance grip for better acceleration and braking performance on snowy roads, and the Hakkapeliitta CR4's optimized design lowers rolling resistance for a quiet, comfortable ride and to boost fuel efficiency so that drivers can spend more time completing their deliveries.
