I've just obtained my first Subaru, '07 WRX wagon Limited. It will be the snow car, but would really like to have good performance on the dry and wet too, which leaves me leaning toward the Michelin. This winter I'll still be in W. WA where the only snow is up on the mountains, for snowboarding. But next winter I'll be in Montana and want a proper snow tire, which at this point it seems would be the Hakka. Thanks all!
