How scores work
- Relative score
- 0–100. Blends road tests (60%) and owner reviews (40%) category by category, the same way on every TireWheelGuide page. With only one of the two, the missing half is estimated from it, so the score stays closer to average. It needs at least one road test or five owner reviews.
- Road tests
- 0–100 per score, from published tests, newer tests counting more. Each result is compared with every other tire in the same test, so a win against a strong field counts for more. The average tested tire gets 70, the best 100; with only one or two tests a tire stays nearer 70. The discipline rows show % of the best tire in that test.
- Owner reviews
- 0–100 from the owner reviews we found online, adjusted for how generously each site rates and scaled like the road tests: the average tested tire gets 70. With only a few reviews a tire stays near the average.
By owner reviews
72/100From 2 owner reviews analysed, scaled like the road tests: the average tested tire gets 70.
By road tests
79/100Scaled across every tested tire: the average gets 70, the best 100.
What owners like and dislike
Themes extracted from 2 owner reviews found online.
The Nokian Hakka Blue 2 is highly regarded for its exceptional wet-weather performance and resistance to aquaplaning, making it a strong choice for safety-conscious drivers. While users consistently praise its handling characteristics and comfort, the tire's longevity is a significant point of contention, particularly for high-mileage users.
Pros
- Exceptional wet surface grip
- High resistance to aquaplaning
- Strong dry handling performance
- High levels of ride comfort
Cons
- Rapid tread wear
- High price point relative to lifespan
Worth knowing
- Professional users, such as taxi drivers, report that the tire's tread life is insufficient for high-mileage commercial applications.
