R2 SUV. They were amazing tires on my Forester before I switched vehicles. Not the best in the dry but unbeatable in snow and ice. Very good control, even at the limit, and goat like grip for non-studded tires.

I got to compare the R2 and the Hakka 7 studded and the R2 was pretty much as good without the road noise and vibration. They were on small CUVs but not the same vehicle unfortunately.
