I've had them on since the 2013/2014 winter... I think 7's? I run them at least 6 months of the year, so they have around 25K on them.... still 70~80% tread left. Pretty good considering the majority of it is on dry roads.

They have a lot of road noise, and sound like you are popping bubble wrap in parkades... but aside from that, they have been nothing short of amazing tires for winter.

I was running Michellen Ice-X on my last DD, and they were really good... but the Hakka's are just on a whole other level.

They will be good in deep snow or even slush, but most MT's and aggressive AT's are basically garbage on ice. As soon as stuff freezes up, you are better off with a tamer AT or all-season
