The WR are little quieter on dry roads; 5% and a little better in deep, deep
rain and slush.  Winter function in snow does not seem to be noticeably
better.

Oh--it's the Dunlop SP5000 that comes in two styles: asymetric
(uni-directional) at 55-series and lower, symetric at 60-series and
higher. I think the NRW is the same throughout.

But... the Nokian dealer (in Denver--none in the Bay Area) says the
205/60-15 NRW is NLA, being replaced with the WR. The dealer has a set
of WRs and says they're at least as good. Anybody have experience with
the WR? They're $86/ea plus shipping, $21 than the SP5k at Tire Rack...
