I have them on our 2001 9-5 with 15" steels, tire size 205-65-R15. They have been terrific! They are not at all noisy on drive pavement, grip well in the wet and do very well in snow. I drove 15 miles after the blizzard ended on Sunday in packed snow with zero problems. TCS will still kick in on really loose, deep stuff but that's to be expected, and I've driven in several inches of fresh snow with confidence.
I must say, I'm 100% satisfied with the tires. I don't know how they do in really icy conditions since we haven't had much of that this year and I drive our (Nokian WR-equipped) Subaru most of the time for commuting. It did take about 100 or 200 miles of driving for the tires to break in - I read someone's claim on some internet site that the grease used for the mold needs to wear off. I have no idea if this is true, but after a little wear they suddenly got much grippier.
Note the Nokian's aren't cheap. I think the 15" ones were $115 ea?
