RE: Hakka CS Year Round I just read through all this thread and can only parrot what others have said, up to and including the pressure being used. I put the Hakka CS 185R14s on my '90 Westy early last fall, two trips so far. They replaced a set of Agillis that I'd been running for 5 1/2 years, I wanted better mud/snow performance. Conclusion: great tire and I'l run them all year round. A little more stable, tracks beautifully, rock solid ride. The Agillis were fine but the Hakkas are better. Two weeks ago I drove a couple of twisty roads in heavy rain, not a wiggle, great traction and handling. I have yet to get the chance to try them in snow, was actually hoping to get into some snow on the last trip just to find out how the Hakkas handled. The only, very minor, negative is a little road noise compared to the Agilis. A low 'hum' that is apparent on a good smooth stretch of asphalt. BTW, on this last trip I was following another Westy running on 16" Perelli Scorpions and he was reporting the same thing, great handling and cornering like on rails.
