I found they needed a little wear-in

It took maybe 200 miles of driving for them to wear-in last year on my 9-5. Also 15", but a little wider, I can't recall the exact size.
Once that happened, grip improved noticeably. I had zero trouble getting around in several inches of fresh snow, driving heavy downpours in early spring, ice & slush, you name it. And they are a very quiet tire, indeed. I think you will be well-pleased with them in the coming months. My co-worked just bought an '02 Mercedes C230 coupe, and he is getting the RSi's installed on 16" rims this evening.
I actually preferred the 9-5 with RSi's in the white stuff to my '98 Subaru with Nokian NRW all-seasons. The saab was more predictable, and had better traction.
