We put four of the new Nokian WR tires on our 1995 E420 this fall. The prior two winters we used the Michelin Artic Alpins. These Nokians are far superior to the Michelins in snow and I think they handle almost as well on dry roads. This past weekend we had over 8" of snow and I was able to get around very well with the Nokian WR tires. They also are supposed to last 50,000 miles and can be driven year round if desired.
