Mika Häkkinen has been lending his expertise to the Nokian Tyres’ testing and development team before, but this is the first time he has worked on a tire dedicated to winter conditions. The Nokian Snowproof P tires are designed for high-speed driving in Central European winter, so Häkkinen is the perfect person to test them: born and bred in Finland, he is no stranger to the harshest of winter conditions, but after years of living around Europe, he also knows the demands of the temperamental Central European winter weather. As a professional driver and after a handsome career on the F1 circuits, his knowledge and sensitivity to tires’ behavior is self-evident.
- The Nokian Snowproof P is a fantastic tire. It acts consistently and predictably both when braking or accelerating hard, Häkkinen says after his laps on snow.
