On the two 9-5 wagons I've had before this one (a '99 and an '01), I had Nokian WRs and Gislaved Nordfrosts IIIs respectively. For this one (an '03),
I purchased 205.55.16 Hankooks Winter-somethings and, besides _looking like_ WRs in terms of tread design, they perform like WRs as well. I've happy with
how they behave in deepish show (6-8 inches) as well as in 2-in fwy slush at speed. The four of them out the door (w/ taxes, etc.) came to just a tic over $400, significantly less expensive than the WRs.
FWIW, I'd never seen Hankooks until noting their use on several cars at this year's Lk Superior Performance Rally. D
