A buddy and I got into a knife fight over whether the Hakkas were better than Blizzaks. Turns out, we both had some good snow tires and no knives. Everyone's a winner!

Being me, though, I've had 5 sets of Blizzaks over various cars, and although I can't fairly compare them to anything else, they issued appropriate confidence and plenty more traction than these things folks call "all season tires". The missus digs 'em, too.
I tried the Nokian Hakkas too and I can say that the Blizzaks are much better and especially on packed snow and ice. Based on my personal experiences with several snow tire brands and all of the reputable road tests I have read, Blizzaks are still the best.
