The Wintracs are too expensive as are my current Scorpions - so Grabbers, Nokians or Kumho??? Still got until Novemberish until I need to change all 4.

Grabbers & Nokians both about £550 fitted for 4. Kumho KL12 at £410!!!! (Wintracs £700+)
Vredstien Wintracs 4 Extremes are £527 a set from Camskill.

The Nokians look like two different tyres cut in half and stuck together. Looks like a much better tyre for the xC90 than those Grabbers though, which are just a summer road tyre.

You get the best selection of tyres if you have the 17" wheels fitted, and the cost of a set of tyres is about £150 cheaper.
