Snow Tires

[Schaible, David]

I am running a green diamond model, don't remember which one, but it has
very aggressive snow tread.......very mushy on dry roads, but a good
compromise for folks who don't want to run studs but demand good
traction on hard pack and ice......(green diamond are the tires with the
carbide chips imbedded in the compound, green=retread, diamond=carbide
chips) they are hard to find, most shops I talked to didn't want to deal
with them since they are retreads.

Well, its that time of year again.  Who makes the best snow tires for
are 
car?  I live in Minnesota and do pull a snowmobile trailer. 6 X 15
wheels.  I 
also make a trip or two to Colorado skiing, and the higher speed miles
do add up.

I have had the following tires:

Blizack 205/60/15 WS 50, great in snow and ice, pretty mushy on dry
roads.

Blizack 205/60/15 MZ 02, OK in snow and ice (not as good as the WS 50).

However better on dry roads.

Have herd a lot of good stuff on Nokian Hakka 1's (spelling)?  I would
like 
to go to a 215, and perhaps a little taller.  Any recomendations?
