I have had the Hakka 2 which i would consider similar to the X-ice 3, and great for ice or compacted snow, but was not very good in the slush or sand/mag chloride mix that can accumulate to either side of the wheel paths on the road. Changing lines could be an adventure. My PA4 were a lot better in that regard, and better for the cold dry days and keeping a performance feel, at the expense of the ice and pure snow traction of the Hakka 2 and X-ice. I would like to personally try the Hakka 8/9 without studs.
