Just put my Hakka 8 (no studs) back on the Subaru and entering 5th(!!) season I’ve got 8/32. Still very grippy on our slick snow and ice covered hill. Prolly the last season for these tho and I’ll sell them for maybe 50 each when I’m done. Pretty good value over the life of the tires.
I was braaping around with my continental DWS 06+ in the last storm and those all season tires are WAY more fun for drifting than the snow tires. Way easier to get stuck tho. I think I’ll stick w the snows. 🤠

A friend in AK was just sharing his epiphany of awesomeness due to switching from studless (xice) to studded (Hakka 10’s) on his subbie. He’s gone through several sets of xice’s.

For you Hakka fans that want to save money - Nordman.

I mean nokian makes great tires all around but I think the Nordman is not even close to the same performance as the Hakkas in snow.
Heck when I bought new tires I initially put the Hakka R3 on for a few weeks and performance was so poor I switched them out to Hakka 8 under satisfaction warranty. I got stuck in the neighborhood twice in a week with the R3!

From what I was told, the Nordman is just the previous version of the Hakka renamed. They cycle them down when a new Hakka comes out.

New Hakka 10 convert after over a decade of Blizzak DMV2 which is still a great studdless.

Gotcha, looks like it was 7 years old. Still I get your point, but I feel like 7 year old tech will still keep me on the road pretty well and for a reasonable price. Looking at reviews, the main rub with the Norman/Hakka7 was the road noise on dry roads. The new Hakkas have some kind of fancy glass in the rubber among other things.

I'd put it down around Manchester/Rt 11 but the 4 zone is where it comes into better focus.

Another ardent vote for Hakkapeliitta 10 studs (which were introduced in 1989) There is no better stock winter tire in stud legal territory
Scientists now have decisive molecular evidence that humans and chimpanzees once had a common momma and that this lineage had previously split from monkeys.

As someone who lived below 4 for a short time, I definitely did not live upstate. I think 4 is a good dividing line; Rutland right on the border.

Anyone have experience with the pirelli winter stozero 3? It’s really the only option for an exact match for model Y. Could also do a Michellen X ice /snow but with a lower speed rating. Not really concerned about deep snow performance, this is wife’s business commuter car. She drives 600 miles per week up/down front range CO
I’m a longtime blizzack guy but no close options available
