- 1). Determine the Nokian snow tire model type you wish to purchase for your vehicle. The four models available are the Nokian Hakkapeliitta R, Nokian Hakkapeliitta RSI, Nokian Hakkapeliitta 4 and Nokian Hakkapeliitta 5. The Nokian Hakkapeliitta R and Nokian Hakkapeliitta RSI are studless snow tires, while the Nokian Hakkapeliitta 4 and Nokian Hakkapeliitta 5 use studs to give the vehicle traction.
- 2). Consider the measurements and specifications you will need to order the Nokian snow tires. Tire sizes will range from 155/65R14 to 255/35R20. Review the tonnage the snow tires can handle based on the size tire you are ordering. Certain Nokian snow tires have standard sidewalls, while others have the option to run flat.
- 3). Find a retailer that sells Nokian snow tires. Since it is a specialty automobile product, you will find a limited number of stores that sell the snow tires. Online, you can order Nokian snow tires through retailers like the Tire Factory.
- 4). Look for the emblem of a snowy peak on the Nokian tires. This indicates the tire meets snow traction requirements and is safe to use in adverse weather conditions.
- 5). Order the Nokian snow tires. If you don't have a local tire retailer that sells them, you will have to likely pay a shipping and handling surcharge when you buy them online.
