Actually Nokian Hakka 7 ( studless )are awefull on snow and ice. I'm wearing them right now, and going back to exchange, (30 day satisfaction Guaranty), them for either the new Toyo Observers or Yoko IG20 ( before I had the IG10 Yoco, and they were AMAZING, lasted me 6 seasons,note that I wore them with first snow and took em off when snow melted, great on mountain roads )
Problem with Hakka 7 , the studless one. The Hatchback Yaris is too light and wheeling too narrow and tire has a harder flank. Meaning needs the car to have weight to grip. Which is true, if I add 3 of my friends, with a a baggage, Its WOW as tire., But yeah. I'm not gonna be traveling around with bags of gravel.
Even if For this particular tire, Nokian accepts that you inflate tire to 29.5KP to grip better, you have a slight difference, but you lose on fuel economy = your tire costed you A LOT...
Im From Montreal, winter conditions, sludgy, icy, crappy, snowy, hardened lateral parking snow..... we know em pretty well. Tires HAVE to be Good.

Note: Hakkapelita 7 studded, will only be good in black ice, or lean ice, Hatchback is still very light for tire to fully grip on hardened snow or snow even with studs. Sorry guys, I tried, I had high hopes for that tire...
