Nokian Hakkapeliitta C4

The Bottom Line

The Hakkapeliitta C4 is best for light truck and van owners who need a winter tire capable of handling heavier loads. However, its lack of 3PMSF certification and lower wet grip score may deter those needing verified snow performance and better wet handling.

Important Note

The absence of 3PMSF certification means it may not meet the snow performance standards some buyers require.
