I bought Nokian WR tires in December 2004. I wanted an all-season tire with good performance in snow.
After 2000km in winter Toronto, 3500km in ski-trips to Barrie and Mont-Tremblant and 2000km on dry/wet spring roads in GTA, I'm very satisfied with their performance. Much much better in snow than my old all-season Firestone FR680, big difference, excellent control on snow/slush!
I'm keeping Nokian WR through summer too, since this is supposed to be "the only all-season tire that has winter tire logo too". That's why I bought them in the first place, since I don't have space to store another set of tires. Based on my experience, I expect very good control and probably bit more wear. We'll see how good are they on +35C...
BTW, I paid $552 CAD (installation and tax included) for four 185/65/R14 tires.
