Review on Nokian Tires Hakka Black 2 SUV 235/65 R17 108V summer by Dimitar Slavov ᠌

Revainrating 3 out of 5

Not a bad product, but you can find better.

Auto - Mercedes GL500 388hp Size 275/50 R20. Cold pressure 2.3. Due to the fact that this is my first summer riding Merce, making a comparison to the tires I used to ride on Kruzak will not be totally accurate, despite the fact that the tire sizes are practically identical. Properties such as handling and braking do not give rise to any exceptional claims. It is always under control, regardless of whether the vehicle has brand new tires or old, worn-out tires. As it has been in the past, Nokian performs admirably on wet roads. Although there is still a slight sensitivity to rutting, in comparison to the previous Hakka Blue 2 SUV on Kruzak, it is not as bad as it was. You can confidently make sharp turns at a good speed, and the car does not deviate from the trajectory at all (only the director in the back begins to complain that he is hanging like a sausage and immediately upsets the excitement of driving). (The collective reaction was one of hushed terror) Tires have fantastic stopping power! I want to bring to your attention the fact that a lot is dependent on the pads. After substituting a non-original component in Merce, the braking performance immediately deteriorated. After I replaced the pads with the usual ones, I noticed that the automobile now comes to a stop 1.5 to 2 meters sooner. I'm not going to whine about the amount of noise because Merc is notoriously loud. on terms of comfort, the Merce responds more brutally to bumps on the road in comparison to the Kruzak, despite the fact that it has an air suspension. On Kruzak, you don't have to slow down at all; nevertheless, you are required to reduce your speed to 20 kilometers per hour on Merce. As a result, it is challenging for me to arrive at a conclusion that is free of all ambiguity on this parameter. In general, I would prefer it to be softer; but, if it were softer, it would wear out extremely quickly. With regard to use. During the season, I drove a total of 31.1 kilometers. The manner of driving is relaxed. As is customary, I rotated the wheels in their mountings after every five kilometers of running. Then moving to the diagonally other direction. Because of this, towards the end of the season, the tread on the tires is worn in an uneven manner. It would appear that the Mercedes rear tires wear out more quickly, so the mileage between rotations needs to be cut down to between 2,000 and 3,000. The tread rubber often breaks down and cracks during the hot summers in Nokian, so it's hard to imagine how that wouldn't be a problem. Everything changes except for this particular issue. I have attached a side-by-side comparison of Hakki Black from 2022 in the form of a photo. having exactly the same issue In general, I do not recommend purchasing this tire. Because the cracks are too widespread and potentially hazardous, the guarantee does not cover replacement tires.

Pros
  • Excellent handling with brand new tires and reasonable handling with worn tires, excellent braking, and reasonably comfortable in terms of noise level and not very harsh. The green nameplates that were attached to the sidewalls have not been misplaced:)))
Cons
  • The rubber tread on every summer Nokian suffers from a condition that causes it to crack and crumble. What breaks considerably more frequently than other models does the Black model? Sensitivity to a slight rutting of the road
