I ran Hakkas (studless) on my Tacoma for a number of winters. I live in Breck, CO. They were bomber.
I now have Hankook iPike RW11s. The tires are snowflake rated. They are just as good as the Hakkas, in my subjective opinion. I don't push my vehicle to the max in snow. I drive with caution, but not slow either. I haven't taken them off for summer and they are wearing well. I put about 9K miles per year on tires and stay, for the most part, up in the mountains so the air temps are a not extremely hot.
