I have 16" summer rims & 15" winter rims for the wife's 9³, & I've been running BFG Traction T/As on both (205/50 & 185/65) for the past several years. My wife started complaining about the lack of traction on the 15" this winter, so I replaced my worn out BFGs on my '90 900 with hers & gave her new 195/60 WRs. I'll continue swapping summer/winter tires on her car.
It was my set of 185/65 Traction T/As on my 900 that had worn down to 2/32" after 30k miles. I like the look & feel of the WRs on her 9³, so I'm wondering if it's worth buying a set for year round use on my 900. The BFGs have given me fantastic summer grip, but less winter grip than I was hoping for. I actually think I get better snow traction from BFG's Touring T/As even though the summer grip's not as good as the Traction T/As.
