OK, the weak link in the equation was the Nokian WR G2. Just replaced them, because they were bald at < 35K. Tread wear and snow performance were nowhere near the results we had (the wife had both models on a FWD Lexus) with the previous and no-longer-available WR. Like night and day. If you're gonna be replacing tires for the upcoming ski season, avoid the Nokian WR G2 like the plague.
