 Good point. What you want out of a tire should be the deciding factor. 
 Here at 7000' in the snowy Wasatch, I want ultimate grip in the snow. 
 I'm therefore willing to sacrifice dry & rain performance. Two friends 
 (OK, one friend & one acquaintance) here have 210s on their Hoppen S6 
 wagons. We haven't done a side-by-side comparison yet, but my money, 
 were I a betting man, would be on the 210 in the dry and the Yoko in 
 the snow. BTW, my wife had studded Semperit Top Grips on her 80q 
 before switching to Blizzaks, and the Blizzaks are considerably 
 better.

Thanks for all the input from the list.  What I am really looking for is
information Specifically between the Haka NRW and the P210...  I pretty much
narrowed my decision down to these two, they are similar in design, my
question is handling.  I personally found the Blizzax to lose just about
everything in control that they gain in traction, it's in my 210 vs Blizzax
tire comparo post 01.07.96 after Steamboat qclub event.  This year I was
hoping to stack the deck some with a good snow, NO studs of any kind allowed
on this track.  

Hardly meaning to start another tire comparo again.  That has been hashed in
the snows a year ago.  Looking at just two, no posts yet on these.  I might
just have to run the gislavs that are on the wheels now for lack of time...
 Thanks all regardless.  I'll let ya know how it went.
