Default Anyone using Nokian WRG2 all weather tires ?

Am thinking of these for my 06 GS300 AWD. Been reading a number of forums (BMW, AUDI, VOLVO, SUBARU) and see that a number of them are using the above tires. Supposedly they are considered an all weather tire (not an all season) and can be used year round with an excellent review for snow, rain, dry, summer and winter use.
They cost around $200 each.
I would prefer to use a good all season instead of buying separate snow tires.
Is anyone using these ?

Here are two links

A relative of mine has them on his beemer. It has a weird tread design and he paid over 200 for a tire and said they were the best snow tires he ever had. Recommended to him by his tire installer.

He said they grip great in the snow like high performance tires do in the summer dry weather. They glue you to the road in deep snow and cause no sliding at all. He swears by them, but that's only one opinion.

IMHO, I think it's a good tire to get.

i use WR G2 for 1 year i decide to buy it even like winter tyres. i like it . this is tyre that you can you when no snow in low temp to drive fast and in snow they not bad. I have AWD 225.55 R17 the top speed of tyre is 240km. rare tyre can give such speed limit. if your climat has a lot of snow use winter tyre (but it is soft in a big speed it is uncomfortable)
