Review on Nokian Tires Hakka blue 3 205/55 R16 94V summer by Adam Kotowski ᠌

In April 2022, Nokian HAKKA BLUE 3 225/45R17 94W began to be evaluated on public roads during normal daily driving. Made in Finland, at the end of July 2022 (2921). Installed in mid-April 2022 on the car AUDI A3 Sedan 2.0 QUATTRO 2022 onwards, (190hp, DSG, all-wheel drive). Tire pressure recommended by the vehicle manufacturer: main 2.6 / 2.4 (front / rear),comfortable 2.3 / 2.1. After 1000 km. Mixed driving mode, city, suburb, highway (percentage of distribution: "city" 75-80%, "highway" 20-25%), the driving style is quite aggressive, but without critical traffic violations. The weather was not summer at all: the air temperature ranged from +5 to +20 degrees, the asphalt also had not really warmed up yet, and was often wet. First due to the melting of the rest of the snow, then due to fairly frequent rains. Obviously, on a wet road, therubber does not warm up to the optimum temperature and miracles should not be expected from it, but the Hakka Blue 3 surprised. Brief impressions at "comfortable" pressure (2.3 / 2.1 atm): on dry pavement: Behavior - a rating of "good", a little lack of clarity in reactions and informationcomntent when adjusting the direction at high speed, as well as when entering a turn. In the initial phase of slips, the character of the car is almost neutral, with a slight bias towards soft oversteer, which helps to register the turn. Dry grip is between “good” and “excellent”. Acousticcomfort - rather "tolerant" than "good" (increased general background). The smoothness of the ride is close to “good” (shocks are felt on large irregularities). In the wet, the Hakka Blue 3 exceeded all expectations, the behavior and grip are “excellent”, the efficiency and informativeness during braking are excellent. With an increase in tire pressure to “basic” values ​​​​(2.6 / 2.4 atm), reactions to steering actions improve slightly, while both informationcomntent andcomfort are slightly reduced.
