Considering snows: Nokian Hakkapeliitta (y/n?)

I've done a few searches, not many hits on this forum. Do any of you run Hakkas personally, what are your experiences?

Wonder if I get a free cellphone with each set of tires? *badump bump*

I have a ton of experience with Nokian tire and snow, I have run most of there more aggressive snow tires over the years on my rally cars and my street cars. I never complained about road noise although you don't really listen to them when they are spinnig and the car is sideways They last a very long time if they are taken care of you I don't think anyone I know has ever told me that did not work well. To me they are one of the best snow tires out.

man all this snow tire talk. i live in california and it just rains here. unless you start to go to nevada during winter then you probably need some chains, but that's about it. good luck on finding the right tire.
