There are pros and cons, think before buying.

I have been using the winter version of Nokian for the past 15 years, ever since they introduced the 4th Hakki. This year, however, I made the decision to test out the summer version of Nokian. Before that, during the summer months I would use Michelin and Yokohama. I was with Michelin for four to five seasons and with Yokohama for two to three. I believe that the Nokian Hakka Green 3 will survive longer if the runs are short and the driving style is vegetable. If your driving style is similar to mine, then you might consider switching to a different rubber. In general, I give a high rating to the riding quality; but, if the resistance to wear were better, I would have given it 5 stars.

Pros

Maintains its grip on the road in both dry and wet conditions. Passes deep puddles and a rut filled with water while traveling at a high pace with confidence. I have size 205/55-R16.

Cons

I purchased it at the end of April 2022, and after two weeks the indicator "8" was no longer visible, and the marker "6" was already difficult to see. It whistles when the turn is particularly severe. To date, on September 19, 2022, the set has traveled around 20,000 kilometers; all of the mileage markers on the front wheels (front-wheel drive) have been removed, and there is approximately 3 millimeters of tread remaining. Even though it was a hot summer, they still wore out way too soon for some reason. Perhaps the additional wear was due to the heat. In most cases, I had sufficient summer tires for two to five seasons.
