Tyre reviews Nokian Hakka Blue 117

I purchased the Nokian Hakka Blue XL tyres after exclusively positive experience with the Nokian Hakka Green XL tyres on my previous car. Currently, they have been in use for 4 seasons with a total mileage of around 35,000 km. This season will be their last due to wear down to 2 on the tread indicator, as well as appearance of cracks on the tread surface characteristic for ageing rubber. I consider the wear rate acceptable.

Tread size: 225/45 R17 94V XL (Russia).
Review in comparison with Michelin Primacy 3 215/55 R16 91V (Germany).
I travel calmly, adhering to traffic rules, unless I am late somewhere. Saint Petersburg. Tire pressure: F: 2.4 atm., R: 2.4-2.5 atm.
advantages:
- perfectly balanced

Regular tire, only expensive and wear-resistant, not to mention the latter is also true. It also implies a certain softness for good handling on a wet road, so that's all good.

I bought Hakka Blue 195/65/15 for summer. It's quiet, soft and doesn't mind potholes, but the drawback is the extremely fast wear! Result: 2 seasons and that's it! I'm not aggressive, I don't accelerate sharply... But it only lasted for 2 seasons. The price of comfort.

I am satisfied with the purchase.

Mainly I drive aggressively. It is very important to know what you can expect from your tires. No nasty surprises, predictable handling both on dry and wet surface. Maximum speed reached with these tires - 197 km/h (all that the car can take), the speed index allows for more.

Driving on puddles is quite comfortable, when getting into a puddle with one side of the car, the wheel doesn't jump out of your hands

Tires hold the road very well, both on dry and wet roads. When entering corners on asphalt, you get such high loads that the suspension is almost too soft. Although it's a bit stiff and makes some noise. On freshly laid asphalt, which was last laid in the last 2-3 months and is still black, it rides silently. Up to 60 km/h it is not afraid of any puddle depth and most of the water is thrown outwards. I haven't tried

Sold a car with very good tires. 90,000 kilometers with change and they are still quiet, no mud on a dirt road in the rain.

Very comfortable ride, smoothness of driving and quietness in the cabin. Excellent handling on dry asphalt. A bit of complaint on aquaplaning. The speed index is even higher than necessary for my engine, I would have praised Bridgestone too. But I chose it deliberately for greater comfort. As for durability, I won't say yet, although I understand that the tire is very soft. Just one season so far. But I think it's worth the extra comfort.

The tire is not bad at all, it holds the road very well, whether it's wet or dry asphalt. In the wild after the rain, it performed well. I've been driving it for the third season and I'm really satisfied, I don't even bother with noise - this is a huge plus for me.

Tires (205-55-16) are very soft and quite comfortable while passing road joints and small potholes. Unfortunately, their virtues come to an end there. I've read other reviews here, it feels like we're driving on different tires. Main drawbacks: - noise - only for the track, when exiting to a wet ground it immediately gets bogged down and slips on the spot, chances of getting out even from shallow mud - none - soft sidewall, tears off in two
