Excellent tire, good, predictable handling.

I don't understand the negative reviews, but this tire is the best I've driven on. (I've had Michelin, Goodyear, and other well-known brands before, so I have something to compare it to) Excellent grip on the road. Asphalt, ice, slush, snow, water - it handles everything well. Good directional stability and excellent resistance to side skidding. Braking is simply excellent (just be careful on ice). The ABS hasn't kicked in once in two seasons. It gets out of snowdrifts with ease. With Nokian, I had to push the car out all the time, but with Hakka, it's no problem. Not a single stud has been lost in two winters. The only downside is that it's a bit noisy, like all studded tires. Just turn the music up louder and it's fine)) I'm very satisfied with these tires.

Hello everyone, I live in Krasnodar, and on the horizon, a forecast for December 2021 hinted at snow, and it's time to change my car's shoes, as I still need to run-in the studs on the asphalt. So, I was in the mood and drove on the M4, somehow reaching a speed of 170 km/h, yes, I understand that's a bit much, but that's just the kind of driver I am. And after running in the tires on dry roads for about 300 km, the minus temperature arrived, and snow fell, and I was very pleased with the handling, both in rain and snow and ice, but I want to say right away that I set the pressure to 2.0 bar in the front and 1.8 bar in the back. The handling was good, yes, there was some tracking, but not critically, probably due to the stiffness of the suspension. And I didn't lose a single stud over 2000 km, although I'm still a bit of a mom's driver, of course, I didn't accelerate from a standstill or drive recklessly, but I do like to push it a bit, and I always understand where the limit is, and this tire never let me down. I want to mention one incident separately, a lot of snow fell in Krasnodar, and I went out, and everything was fine until I entered an unfamiliar courtyard and realized it was a pipe dream, I had to engage the rear "R" and turn off the stabilization, and I had to push the mechanics a bit, and I got out, although I had to rev the tachometer up to 7600 rpm, and all this was on snow, and not a single stud came out. As for the downsides, yes, the sidewall is soft, even very soft, keep that in mind, I don't recommend it for careless drivers, I didn't puncture or pierce it, but I understand that it's thin. And the overall impression is more than satisfying.

The tires are just great! At first, I thought they were overinflated by 3 or more atmospheres. They were riding very stiffly, like on a summer low-profile tire, but it turned out that everything was normal with 2.1 atmospheres. It was a new sidewall design for better handling. The size is 185/65/15. I drive fast, 350 km from Moscow. The grip is excellent, on ice it's like driving on dry asphalt, the adhesion is almost unnoticed, they are practically noiseless, and the handling is like on a summer tire. I had Haka 7 before, and it lasted for 5 seasons. In general, I'm extremely satisfied.
