I am using them also. They are as good as the Nokian Hakapellitas I had and cheaper too.
Nokian tires are great.
Have a look at [nokians outpost apt](https://simpletire.com/brands/nokian-tires/outpost-apt), should be cheaper than all 3 of your options and it’s also higher temperature and tread wear rated at 700AA vs 620AB, 600AB and 600AB, (tread wear #, traction grade, temperature grade). It also has nokian’s aramid Fiber reinforcement
I was in the exact same boat...I would have preferred the CrossClimates but went with the WRG5 based on the Nokian pedigree and other recommendations for my '18 Accord Hybrid. Yesterday, I drove through some pretty snowy and icy weather in New Brunswick and Quebec. Tires handled like a champ!
something like the Continental DWS 06+ from April until November and a dedicated studded Winter tire like the Nokian Hakkapellitta 10 for Winter is a really great choice.
I had nokian wrg4s on my subaru before selling the car my gf has michelin crossclimate2s on hers, both are excellent.
I’m a fan of Nokian WRG4s
We put them on our 2018 XT this year, studless. Been pretty good so far. The -30C we've been getting in Calgary lately though there's still some slip on the hard sheer ice but no way I'd want to try regular all seasons!
Personally, I think a Hakka 1 or Hakka 2 is too agressive a tire for an AWD NJ daily driver unless your commute is only a couple of miles. They'll corner like you have four gum-erasers mounted and at least double your road noise.
I know this thread is 2 years old, but I have Nordman 7 on my 22 kona ev, and the grip is terrible. I have owned Hakkas on all my cars including subarus and they were top tier, on this car they don't grip for some reason.
The cabin noise is driving me crazy too, sort of excited to finish winter, and it ain't even started yet to be able to change them next year.
