Review on Nokian Tires Hakka Green 3 185/65 R15 92H summer by Janis Libeks ᠌

Revainrating 3 out of 5

There are several shortcomings, but, it corresponds to the norm.

For the past fifteen years, ever when I switched to the fourth iteration of Hakki for the winter, I have used the Nokian for the summer. In the past, I'd switch to Yokohama in the winter and Michelin in the summer. Five to six seasons with Michelin, two to three with Yokohama. Like mine, I think Nokian Hakka Green 3 will last longer if the distances driven are shorter and the driver takes a more relaxed approach. The ride quality is excellent overall, and I would give it five stars if the durability were better.

Pros
  • Excellent traction in both wet and dry conditions. Water-filled ruts and deep puddles are no match for your high-velocity driving. To wit: 205/55-R16 is my size.
Cons
  • Indicator "8" was no longer visible after two weeks, and marker "6" was already poorly readable when I got it at the end of April 2022. As of today (19 September 2022) the set has traveled close to 20,000 kilometers; the front wheels (front-wheel drive) have worn down to approximately 3 millimeters of tread. They seemed to wear out excessively soon, even taking into account the possibility that the hot weather contributed to the accelerated wear. Typically, I would have two to five summers' worth of tires.
