Review on Nokian Tires Hakka Black 2 SUV 255/55 R18 109Y summer by Adam Joks ᠌

Revainrating 1 out of 5

Terrible product, not satisfied with the purchase!

After having used it for two and a half months and driving 4,000 kilometers, I have decided to write a review on my experience with it. Volkswagen Touareg. After being attached to the vehicle, it was discovered that the rubber is not balanced, which results in vibration when the vehicle is in use. I have performed balancing operations on multiple occasions, including at tire fitting stations that are permitted by the manufacturer. There is a breach of the wheel geometry in three of the four tires; when the tires are balanced on a machine, it is visible to the naked eye how the rubber "jumps." After 90 kilometers per hour, the vibration is so intense that the driver cannot see the road in the side mirror. This was a mistake on my part because I believed that after some time the rubber would degrade and the problem would no longer exist. The extended warranty that the manufacturer offers does not cover "curve" rubber in any of its forms due to this limitation. If you purchase these tires, you will be stuck dealing with this issue while simultaneously owning "premium" rubber on its own. The "hot line" that customers can call to appeal a decision made by the manufacturer does not produce any results. Formal procedures are what it comes down to in the end: go the route of a complaint, and this will be two months without tires and counting without a car. Think carefully three hundred times before purchasing tires from this manufacturer. This flaw is only discovered on the machine after the wheel has been collected and balanced; it is not found in any of the places where the product is sold. This kind of rubber is bad for the car and will shatter the hub. In anticipation of the manufacturer's remarks, the vehicle is in excellent mechanical condition prior to the installation of the tires; the chassis, suspension, and wheel alignment have all been maintained, and the tire alignment has been performed.

Pros
  • a well-known brand
Cons
  • - tires of a poor quality - tires that are out of alignment and not balanced - body vibrations
