If you are bowing in wall shot leagues, get the Phase II
Halo is an asymmetric snowtire that hooks too early for most house conditions and will give the illusion of not hooking. You could shine it and make it more freindly but it will still be smooth.
Phase 2 is a symetric core that works really well on a variety of conditions. It shines up well too. Not as aggressive as Halo.
