Had a set of Vredestein Wintrac's on my 9-3 for Winters and put maybe ~25K with plenty of tread left on them. They were incredible in the snow, ran them from early November to early April and then switched to all season tires for the Summer. Sold them to another Saaber when I turned my 9-3 into a second car.
The Quatrac's are asymmetrical which will give you the more aggressive winter bite you seem to be looking for. They have a 400 treadwear rating which is decent. The Nokian's look like they have a 500 treadwear rating.
Had a set of Pirelli P6's on my '07 S60 that I got 44K out of. A POS tire as far as I am concerned, replaced them with Continental Extreme Contact DWS (asymmetrical) which were okay.
I just put a set of Bridgestone Turanza Serenity Plus (asymmetrical) on my '10 TL. 600 treadwear rating on these. Very happy with them so far but haven't run them in the snow yet. They replaced a set of Bridgestone Turanza EL-400's that I was able to squeeze 51K out of (a 280 treadwear tire). I will say that I hear a slight radial sound with the Serenity's on certain types of pavement.
