I ran Hakka 10's 2 years ago and thought they were great. Then I got a set of Hakka 1's and I found that they are better in all conditions (deep, slush, hard pack, etc.). They had great bite in the deep stuff. Their lateral traction seemed better too. I want to see what the Hakka 2's look like to make sure they will have enough openness to the tread, so they get a good bite in the deep stuff. I live in the snow belt, so we get a lot of storms that dump 4-10" in a short period of time, so traction in the deep stuff is pretty important.
