Tyre reviews Nokian Hakka V 657
- Rate
Great tire!
Shows itself best on wet and rainy roads. Note:
1. Hates strong heat at +30 and above, starts to "melt".
2. Despite the salesmen's assurances "that there are no such" found a Finnish (produced 07.11). Although more expensive by $15 per tire, it balances without the drawbacks, wear compared to Hakkapeliitta (Russia) which I had- Vehicle:

195/50 R15. Punctures and bulges have finally got the better of me, not one tyre has lasted through the tread wear, all changed for bulges, four tyres from two sets replaced under warranty, another two had to be purchased by myself after a year, eventually now changing all four for another.

Pros: I decided to go with these tires initially due to the positive reviews in this area, and I wasn't wrong! These tires are worth every cent! Being a summer tire, I didn't comment on the winter capabilities, nor did I comment on the exterior noise level, as I typically don't as I usually ride inside the vehicle while driving.

Quality tyres, after Pirelli P6000, sky and earth, quiet, hold the road perfectly, don't want to leave the lane, despite the low profile (195/50/15). So far, only positive emotions, we'll see how it goes further.

Today I bought these tires (alignment, balance, etc.) and we went for a spin, literally 170-180 and then 100 km of Siberian "roads" (even had stretches of smooth asphalt). I started recalling my past experience of driving on various roads and came to the conclusion that tires are really great! We still need to test them on wet asphalt (summer arrived early here in Siberia), but I'm not worried: on dry roads, they grip the road like rail tracks

Excellent grip in dry, good in wet. Used only 3 mm of tread over 16,000km which was 90% highway at high speeds. Great all round tyres, although for quietness look elsewhere as Yokohama have quieter tyres.

I've had Pirelli and Michelin before. Now I'm very satisfied with Nokian tires. Nokian V-shaped are very good summer tires, excellent on dry roads, very good grip on wet roads, slightly worse braking on wet, just good to drive on snow, since they are summer tires, and like with any other summer tires there's no good grip on ice or braking on snow. Look for Nokian snow/winter tires for snow.

In short, that's it!
I myself am engaged in the sale of tires, and I'll share a secret: the higher the speed index, THE FASTER THE TIRE WEARS OUT, but it is more stable and confident at high speeds. So if you want to drive well, you have to pay. And the tire is super, due to the increased stiffness, the "V" is more stable than the "H"
Pros: Super
Cons: none- Rate
Great!
I listened to smart people - every 12 thousand, I swap the front and rear pairs. So far, I've driven 30,000 km. There are still 2mm left (to the lower edge). At the same time, I don't spare the tires - I start with a screech, brake as it happens, and I've flown into potholes (hit so hard that I thought I'd be left without a disk), but thank God everything

Worthy
Wet and aquaplaning = bomb. Dry = bomb!!! in turns it's just pleasant ... Everything is fine, only it wore out by 1 mm in 6 thousand and started making noise ... quite loudly. For those with "non-musical" hearing or good soundproofing, I recommend.
Pros: everything is very worthy.
Cons: noise- Control on a dry road
