I agree with the above post about the hakks being a great tire, for snow. Thats what I have on my '88 SPG which plows through just about anything our Canadian winters put on the roads. Our 9-5 uses blizzacks which are great on ice and packed snow, generally what the roads are in winter except for the occasion when the car leaves the house before the plows have been out. Our 9000CDE has the Alpins which are along the same lines as the blizzack but seem to be lasting longer.
My suggestion is find out what the roads are going to be like in the area where you are, if they are generally well plowed but coverd with ice and packed snow then the blizzack and the alpin provide good traction and not to much extra road noise. If you are heading through unplowed snow more often then not I would go with the hakks.
The SPG with the hakks is my choice of transportation through heavy snowfall.
Just my 2 cents. hope your happy with your choice!
Mike
