2026 Vi Bilagare Summer Tyre Test P3 of 10

Nokian Hakka Blue 3 is a familiar performer that has placed well in previous tests. Wet roads remain its strongest area - no other tyre feels as composed and easy to manage in a crisis situation on slippery surfaces. It has no major weaknesses, but more demanding drivers will notice that the steering feel is somewhat non-linear, with forces building progressively rather than giving immediate feedback. Braking distances are short on both wet and dry, though several newer competitors now stop shorter. It is a comfort-oriented tyre with high safety margins.
