I must be the Bizarro World dual of Mike because my experience and opinion
mirrors his exactly.  I have been running Hakkapelliitta's for about 15 years,
first 10's and now C2's on both 2WD sedans and Syncro's.  I take them off the
2WD's for summer, but leave them on the Syncro year round.  There is one thing
which I have proven to myself through several sets of tires: although the
Hakka's have an aggressive tread, they are hand's down a better tire, in the
summer or winter, in the wet or dry, than the popular Yokohama Y356.
