Anyone used Nokian Hakka Q's during a winter that didn't produce much snow?

I have no doubt they'll be a fine snow tire; just wondering how they end up doing when the snow doesn't show and you've got dry highway.

Thanks,

Default They are fine as long as it's below 40 degrees or so, I've driven with them at 80 degrees

on the freeway and after an hour or so they feel like the sipes are rubbing and overheating the tread blocks, not dangerous feel, just kinda wandery because the rubber gets so soft. In the cold on dry pavement they are pretty good just a case of different compounds for different stuff, NRW's might be better if you are on mostly dry pavement.
