Hi,


Let me toss in another recommendation. I used to use the Hakkas years ago
as a snow/mud tire when I rallied my GTI. The last year we rallied, we got
a set of Bridgestone Blizzaks from the local tire dealer. They are far
superior to the Hakkas. IMHO. The Blizzaks are great in both snow and ice.
They have a rubber compound which give traction similar to having studded
snows. We run them all the way around on both on the 84 Vanagon as well as
my 98 New Beetle.
