If you're commuting every day I'd for sure get the studded Hakkas.
I mounted mine last November and have put about 40,000km on them and have nothing but great things to say. I skied in quebec pretty often and it was even able to tackle about half a foot of fresh snow like nothing.
Im at 28k and its still around 6-7/32 on Pirellis
Awesome in the slushy winter stuff we see in the Midwest. Way, WAY better than stocks in every conceivable respect- they're even more comfortable and quieter
All you need is good studded tires like Nokian and you will be fine.
I just bought Nokians for my S80, similar pattern. Certainly a great upgrade regardless!
I just mounted these on my wife’s Alltrack… not the most “performance” forward but quiet, safe, and plenty of grip..
My opinion, Pirelli was at one time a very good brand if you were looking for a performance tire, in recent years though it seems that they have become complacent and aren't really trying to innovate and as such have become a mediocre tire company at best. But for a decent low cost tire, Kumho is a fair bet.
I can tell you the Pirelli have a very low durability and are not recommended if you’re not planning to spend a significant amount of time on the track.
I replaced mine at 27k miles. They were wearing very fast so it was barely early, but their snow traction is so bad i didn't want them for another winter. Awful tires.
