I've got Vredestein's Quatrac II's on my 99, 185/65. Really nice all-season tire. Good road feel and grip, though, being an all-season tire, not as grippy as a pure summer tire. They were outstanding in the snow last year (not too much snow this year).
I also have their Wintracs on my 900 turbo, also 185/65 (the 195/60 Nokias they replaced tended to spin on snow). Like I said, no snow this year, so I can't say how they are that way, but the ride was pretty nice. Both models seem to have good road feel, and feel like they're gripping the road, rather than just rolling on top of it.
I couldn't wait to get those damn awful Pirellis off my 900 (I forget which model they were, but they weren't the P6000's). Piece of garbage tires, that were rock hard. Definitely not the tire for the C900's stiff suspension.
