Best Winter Tires for 2013? -- Nokian Hakkapeliitta 8

Nobody knows winter tires like the Finns, Nokian based in Nokia, Finland, has been manufacturing winter tires since 1932 according to Wikipedia.
"Car tyre production began in 1932 by Suomen Gummitehdas Oy (Finnish Rubber Works Ltd). A three-company merger formed the Nokia Corporation in 1967; Nokian Tyres Limited was established in 1988 as a joint venture company split from the conglomerate."
"The company has a 30-hectare (74-acre) testing facility in Nokia, where it road tests tyres between April and November. From November to May, tests are carried out at its Ivalo Proving Grounds in Arctic Lapland. The Ivalo Proving Ground is the only permanent winter tyre testing facility in the world."

If this tire can do this I can't wait for the new winter tire test results versus other winter brands. I can safely say that they will still be number 1 for winter tires (dethrowning the Nokian Hakkapeliitta 7). Sorry Michelin stick with what you do best the other three seasons.
