Never heard of Nokian until a month ago. Put a set of Nokian WRG3 on my
car. So far, they seem to be pretty solid performers in snow but with
little ice experience. They are a good year round tire.
The Hak is DEFINITELY a winter only tire. VERY agressive - they are a
bit noisy, but will handle anything finland and russia can throw their
way. In the non-studded class ice racing the Haks and Metzler Blue
were the only tire that could hack it (no pun intended) back in the
'80s - before the Blizzaks and GraspIc and Michelin Ice tires were
developed.

AFAIK, the Haks are not sold here. The WRG3 is touted as being a tire
specifically designed for North America. They do have a snow rating,
but can also cruise at 149 mph.
