Nokian Hakka Blue 3 SUV 265/60 R18

The summer tire Nokian Hakka Blue 3 SUV is designed for SUVs and crossovers, whose owners use them mainly on paved roads. It is characterized by efficient braking on wet surfaces, stable traction at high speeds, precise handling during dynamic maneuvering, and reliability on poor roads.

Aquaplaning resistance

This model was one of the first tires of the brand to feature the Dry Touch 3.0 technology. This is a comprehensive set of solutions aimed at reducing the risk of a continuous water film forming between the tire and the road surface. One of them is the increased volume of longitudinal grooves and the special shape of the Swoop grooves and Coanda drainage elements. This provides high water evacuation intensity from the contact patch.

Silent MultiZone tread pattern

To a significant extent, the high level of acoustic comfort offered by this tire is due to the use of an asymmetric tread pattern with a Silent Multizone design. The essence of the technology lies in the special arrangement of elements on the inner and outer sides of the tire's tread. This minimizes the risk of resonant vibrations from rolling when the wheels rotate. This feature is especially pronounced when driving on "rough" asphalt. This solution improves the even distribution of pressure in the contact patch, increasing the tread's resistance to abrasive wear.

Reliability on poor roads

Some of the technical solutions used in the tire were "borrowed" from off-road tires. This refers to the "aramid shield" technology, which involves the presence of special fibers made of the same synthetic material in the sidewall structure. This significantly increases the tire's resistance to mechanical damage. In addition, some of the drainage grooves contain special protrusions that prevent small stones from getting stuck in the tread, increasing the tire's passability on poor roads.

Key features of Nokian Hakka Blue 3 SUV

- Dry Touch 3.0 technology minimizes the risk of a continuous water film forming between the tire and the road at any speed;
- Aramid fibers in the sidewall structure and protrusions in the drainage grooves provide reliability and increased passability of the tire on poor roads;
- The asymmetric tread pattern prevents uneven wear, improving acoustic comfort on worn asphalt roads.
