Bought these tires used (like ~5 mm tread depth remaining) just to drive them for one season and did not expect them to be that bad actually. The worst part of them is the noise (they are super noisy). Before I drove used winter studded tires (also Nokian) on the same car and it does not come even close to the level of noise of Hakka Black when you drive on a dry pavement. I understand that the tire I put is not new and is quite worn, but based on my experience (even from badly worn Chinese tires), this is not really acceptable. The second issue is the overall handling of the car - it becomes less predictable on highway speeds (not in terms of grip, but rather stability) and the ride quality does not feel good.

There was also one review here from the guy for the same tire, and even same tire size and car class - he shares similar thoughts. Therefore, I would not recommend to go for Hakka Black... in used condition definitely. I will change them asap.

FYI: I am driving in Sweden where road conditions are generally quite well maintained and the summer season in the area I live is more extended compared to the rest Sweden, though we have a considerable mix between wet and dry weather.

pontiac gto 2005 v8 400+ HP it was really bad on wet roads continental tires THEN i put on a brand new set of nokian hakka black what a difference iss like driving on dry roads even thou its raining , it hooks and brakes wonderfull this car neded a tire like black would definitive buy again even feels better that pilot sport 4 n this car

Tires are soft. Very well keep the road at low temperatures. However, at an air temperature of more than +25 C, a rather rapid wear begins with an active ride. Sidewall holds the blows well. Four times wheels fell into pits up to 5 cm at a speed of 60-80 km / h - the hernia was not formed. Of the disadvantages - sensitive to rutting.

Review your Nokian Hakka Black >

2 out of 4 tires was "more oval than round". Visible to the naked eye for anyone, including a couple of mechanics at two different workshops. Nokian on the other hand claimed they were perfect and wouldn't replace them under warranty. Seller replaced them without Nokian's backing.

The tires are rock hard, noisy, creates a bumpy and uncomfortable ride. Even in a Mercedes E-class with new suspension and wheels the tires causes lots of vibration both in low and higher speeds, and makes the car jump around with small constant jumps unless the tarmac is completely perfect.
A Nokian representative uses some fancy measuring devices and concluded the tires was perfect so this type of behavior from the tires was how things was supposed to be.

I've had more noisy tires before, like the Toyo T1 model. But nothing as uncomfortable and horrible to drive as these Nokian Hakka Black.
