ko2 or Nokian for snow?

here's my dilemma: I'm thinking of running ko2's year-round on truck, or running k02's for all seasons except winter, when I would have Nokian Hakkapeliittas from November-April. The ko2 is, I believe, "winter-rated", as it has the snowflake symbol, but I think the Nokian would have to be the better winter tire, the ko2 snowflake notwithstanding.

Where I live, winters are often snowy and usually cold (below freezing from Thanksgiving through March).

Just want to know if anyone has made a similar choice, or if anyone can compare winter performance of the two tires

 

Get the dedicated snow tire for winter use only...
