Nokian Hakkapeliitta Winter Tires

Well winter is around the corner and its time to bombard the board with "which winter tires are the best" questions. I am considering a set of Nokian tires and wanted to know everyones thoughts or experiences with them. I am open to other suggestions but these are definitly in the running. I plan on using my stock 17" c7's as a rim and just getting a new summer tire/rim package in the spring.

had the hakka 2s on an SC400, really good traction through snow, less than stellar handling and ride on dry roads.....if you get a lot of snow and the city doesn't clear it quick after a snowfall, then this is a safe choice, otherwise refer to Luke's recommendations this year from Tirerack : https://mbworld.org/forums/wheels-tires-suspension-brakes-forum/85312-winter-wheel-tire-thread.html
