I've been using WRs both on my Saab and VE Eurovan as year round tires and I like them very much. I did destroy two on potholes last year, but it was a big pothole year up here in MA.
Last year Nokian had a review on their website that covered winter tires with more than 20k miles on them. The point of the review was that tires don't stay new forever, and many of the tires out there use special componds that only last for a small percentage of the tire's life. If I remember correctly, the Nokians were abut average in the group new, but degraded significantly less than the other tires over time.
Granted, this was a highly biassed place to see a review, but the point about tires not working as well over time is a good one.
