Canadian Automobile Protection Association has some feedback results regarding winter tires that may aide you.

The information and recommendations are based on member feedback.

Congrats on the 09 Forester. We have a 98 and it's been a solid vehicle.

You get what you pay for.  Seriously.  Even jaded rrocket was shocked (really...) at how capable the Forester is when things go to hell weather-wise.  The AWD system alone makes the premium worth it - but as oToN noted: that price difference will hold.

I long for the "good old days" when Scoobs suffered from horrible depreciation.  Just ten years ago you could buy a 3yr old Forester for 40-45% of new.  Now you have to go for a 5-6yr old one for the same percentage.

maybe against Tucsan or Sportage, but Sorrento's have been well regarded for it's truck-based solid chassis and 4wd.. 

i dunno...  i think sorrento might be a good alternative.
Did you mean Borrego?

The Sorento was truck based up until 2010 or so, IIRC.
