Anyone use these? They seem a possible value, especially with the rebates. My main concern is drivability on the mostly dry roads in lower NY and the low Q speed rating. They also probably wear quickly on the dry roads and as the weather warms in the early/late season.
I'm spoiled by my worn out Nokian WRs that were V-rated. Nokian options in 225/50R16 are the WR G2 and Nordman 4. I'm a fan of plus zero tires on the 9-5. I don't see enough snow that I need narrower winter tires. I use winter tires as a full-size spares, though I've got enough spare wheels that I could do something else using worn tires.
I've got a newish set of DWSs on another Saab so I'll see how that goes.
