The new Nokian Hakka Black 2 summer tyre masters the strict requirements of the Northern summer in an enjoyable and balanced manner. Rutted roads and quick lane changes bring out the best of the extremely stable handling and logical steering.
The new Dynamic Grip concept
The new Dynamic Grip concept ensures that the contact surface of this tyre, designed for fast and sporty driving, remains exact and precise on rain-slick asphalt as well as during quick cornering.
The Dynamic Grip concept combines a new generation of tread pattern, a multi-layered structure and a rubber compound that can ensure state-of-the-art grip under varying weather conditions. The tyre grips, adapts to surface roughness and immediately responds to steering. Optimal road contact also maximises driving comfort and durability.
EXTREMELY STABLE UNDER EXTREME CONDITIONS
MAXIMUM COMFORT
ENJOYABLY PRECISE HANDLING ON WET AND ROUGH ROADS
RunFlat Technology
You can drive approximately 50 kilometres on a flat tyre, if the car is fully loaded. If the car is only carrying the driver, the transition drive can be up to 150 kilometres.
Nokian Tyres recommends a maximum speed of 80 kilometres per hour. Under very slippery conditions, the speed should be kept at approximately 50 km/h.
For safety reasons, run flat tyres can only be mounted on cars equipped with air pressure monitoring that is integrated into the IT system, or some other system that warns of changes in tyre pressure changes, and a driving stability management system (ESP).
EU Tyre Label and Efficiency Classes
The European Union has introduced the EU Tyre Label by Regulation (No. 1222/2009) identically and bindingly for all EU member states. It applies to passenger car tyres, light commercial vehicle tyres and heavy commercial vehicle tyres produced after 01.07.2012.
Three different areas are tested: rolling resistance, wet grip and the rolling noise the tyre makes on the road.
The following are not affected by the EU Tyre Label: retreaded tyres, professional off-road tyres, racing tyres, tyres with additional devices to improve traction such as spiked tyres, T-type emergency tyres, special tyres for fitting to vehicles first registered before 1 October 1990, tyres with a maximum authorised speed of 80 km/h, tyres for rims with a nominal diameter of 254 mm or less or 635 mm or more.
With this regulation, the European Union is pursuing the goal of promoting economic and ecological efficiency in road traffic as well as increasing road safety on the one hand, and on the other hand, granting consumers more product transparency and at the same time serving as an active decision-making aid.
Already during the incorporation, experts criticise the fact that the EU Tyre Label unfortunately only shows a few product characteristics. Apart from rolling resistance, wet grip and rolling noise, which are the main focus of EU tyre labelling, tyres have much more important and safety-relevant product characteristics, such as aquaplaning properties, driving stability, service life, braking properties on dry and wet roads, behaviour in wintry conditions, etc.
Tyre manufacturers point out that test results from various institutions and journals remain an important information medium for the end consumer. These tests usually focus on further safety-relevant product characteristics besides the EU standard qualifications for tyre labelling, which are always important for the final customer.
