My new Vredestein Quatrac 3's are mounted!

After running down an old set of Nokian RSI's on 15" steel wheels, I've gone to a set of Quatrac 3's on the 16" OEM alloy wheels for year-round use. I still believe in dedicated snows and we're going to stick with that strategy on my wife's Odyssey, but when the snow is real nasty out I can just work from home. After 12 months on the 15" steel wheels it feels like a new car!
I opted for the Quatrac 3's over the Nokian WRG2 because it saved me about $150-200. Seeing the tread pattern side-by-side it looks like the WRG2 has a bit more siping and would perhaps offer better ice traction. In eastern MA icing isn't usually that big a deal, it's more slush and packed snow when the going gets tough.
After 10 miles on 'em I'm pleased, LOL. I'll offer up a review sometime later this winter. Anyone need a set of 15" steel rims?
