My Nokian Hakkas (year-round snow tire) seem to be as good in snow as my wife's Bridgestone Blizzaks (winter-only snow tire). Hard to compare too precisely because different vehicles.
Reviews and feedback on the Nokians, that I've found, have been very positive. The WR is getting popular among Prius owners because of the low rolling resistance.

The increase in rolling resistance is very noticeable. We glide a lot in our 5 spd Fit to conserve gas and we found our glide times were cut considerably. Maybe not as noticeable ona bigger car.
