The Tyre Reviews Score is the most comprehensive tyre scoring system available. It aggregates professional test data from multiple independent publications, user reviews, and consistency analysis using Bayesian statistical methods, weighted normalisation, and recency-adjusted scoring to produce a single, reliable performance rating.

Methodology & Configuration
Scoring Process
  1. Collect Test Data: Gather results from professional tyre tests across multiple publications. Minimum 1 test(s) required.
  2. Normalize Positions: Convert test positions to percentile scores using exponential weighting (factor: 1.2).
  3. Apply Recency Weighting: More recent tests are weighted higher with a decay rate of 0.95.
  4. Incorporate User Reviews: Factor in user review data (minimum 5 reviews). Weight: 15%.
  5. Bayesian Smoothing: Apply Bayesian prior (score: 7, weight: 1.5) to prevent extreme scores with limited data.
  6. Calculate Final Score: Combine all components using normalization factor of 1.1. Max score with limited data: 9.5.

Good handling on wet surfaces. Low noise level and rolling resistance.
Relatively long braking distances
The Nokian Hakka Blue has excellent feel on wet surfaces where they have a high grip and stable control even in an emergency. In the dry the tyres also adequately react to the actions of the driver during abrupt manoeuvres. Low noise, smooth running and low rolling resistance.
2015 Auto Review Summer Tyre Test
225/45 R17 • 2015
5th/9
High resistance to aquaplaning, good wet grip, comfortable
Dry grip
The Nokian has the second best aquaplaning resistance, and an all round strong wet performance, but isn't quite a match for the best in the dry. The tyre offers good comfort, shock resistance and rolling resistance
2014 Test World Summer Tyre Test
205/55 R16 • 2014
3rd/16
Good handling on wet roads, low noise, low rolling resistance
Relatively long braking distances in the dry
The Nokian is well suited for driving on wet roads, which showcases the successful combination of high grip, precise steering response and, if required, predictable behavior during abrupt maneuvers. In the dry the tyre isn't as strong, with longer dry braking distances. Low noise and low rolling resistance give the Nokian a solid third

Top 3 Nokian Hakka Blue Reviews

Given 67% while driving a Skoda Octavia (205/55 R16 W) on mostly country roads for 17 easy going miles
Worst Wear I've ever experienced , almost didn't make the MOT because of treadwear down at 1,7 mm.
This AFTER 27.000 km !
Learned from the MOT-man that Nokian have failed totally with the rubber mixture and that the "body" of the Tire is to weak and can't take the Centrifugal force, even if You'r driving with 2,6 kg pressure. He's driving with 3,0 kg ! But then it runs like a Tram !
Checked the info with my friend at home who owns the local tyre-dealer and he confirmed that the Nokian Rep. had said the same and that the Nokian Black was even worse 10.000 km's is not an un-common wear-distance for them !
They are in PANIC trying to find a solution (new rubber mixture and construction) but will not compensate the customers in any way !
Hopefully 2018 might have a compl. new Hakka Blue !
