I'll let you know this winter - I bought a set for the EL. I fully intended to buy Hakka 2s, but the Champiro is H-rated (OEM for the EL is V-rated), designed to be studless, is significantly less-expensive, and what little feedback I've found has been positive. Comparitively, the Hakka 2 is T-rated and designed for studs, and the Hakka RSi is R-Rated (for speed, not nudity). I really liked my previous Nokians, but the EL commutes mostly on major highways, and I appreciate a better-handling tire.
And while I don't mean to promote Morty's competition, Steelcase have always been good to me. After three sets snows in three years, you start to recognize one-another. They mentioned last time that tire prices are going up a little this year, and the premium for Nokians will be higher still. The Nokian package I bought for the Matrix two years ago would cost me $100 more today.
Especially in an area without a lot of competition, I think TT would be a no-brainer.
