I bought a set last year.  They were on a fwd Jetta only during the winter.
In that application they were amazing.  Don't think I'd recommend them year
round though.  The treads are riddled with siping which makes them great in
rain and snow, but squirrelly in the dry.  Haven't seen this, but I'll bet
they'd get hot in the summer.  The Hakkaapelitta's are well know as a great
Pro-Rally tire.  I've not heard them lauded as a summer highway tire though.
