Nokian Hakka Blue 3

Summer tire Nokian Hakka Blue 3 is designed for dynamic versions of passenger cars. It is characterized by increased elasticity of the tread, which makes it possible to use it from early spring to late autumn. It stands out for its improved grip properties on wet surfaces, sports handling, acoustic comfort, and smooth ride.

Efficiency on wet roads

This model features the Dry Touch 3.0 technology, which is a set of technical solutions designed to reduce the risk of aquaplaning. First and foremost, this is an increased volume of longitudinal grooves that can hold a significant amount of water. Additionally, the shoulder areas contain drainage elements of a special shape that further increase the intensity of the water flow. The central part features Swoop grooves that collect and direct moisture into the longitudinal grooves. As a result, even at high speeds, the likelihood of a continuous water film forming in the contact patch is minimal.

Acoustic comfort

To reduce noise and vibration while driving, the tire design also features several technical solutions. One of them is the semi-spherical cavities on the walls of the longitudinal drainage grooves. They prevent the formation of turbulence in the airflow passing through them, give the longitudinal ribs the mobility necessary to absorb the vibrations that occur during tire rotation. As a result, the noise level is reduced, both outside and inside the car. Additionally, such cavities significantly reduce the uneven wear of the tread, increasing the mileage of the tire.

Optimized compound

The tire tread is made from the Cool Blue Hybrid rubber mixture. Its key feature is a combination of increased elasticity and resistance to abrasive wear. As a result, the tire remains grippy on cold asphalt in early spring and late autumn, demonstrates smooth ride and acoustic comfort on uneven surfaces, while also featuring a long service life.

Key features of Nokian Hakka Blue 3

- an effective drainage system that effectively prevents the formation of a continuous water film in the contact patch;
- low noise and vibration levels thanks to the optimized asymmetrical tread pattern and special semi-spherical cavities on the walls of the drainage grooves;
- the Cool Blue Hybrid rubber mixture allows the tire to be used in early spring and late autumn, while also providing a long service life.
