I have to second that... although I don't know about the longevity.

I put a set I picked up used on my 90Q, and I am completely stunned by
their performance in poor traction situations.  They not only "go", but
they stop well, too.  Even more, they corner.  The only drawback is,
they make it really hard to do donuts!

And guess what?  We're getting a lot of opportunities to appreciate them
this winter.  I put them on 12/24, and I think they've seen dry pavement
less than half the time since then.  Perfect timing...
