They already feel great, the car is just a lot more nimble and a bit quieter. Guy at Grismer couldn't stop raving about them and proceeded to show me the other 4 associate cars that had Nokians.
Bring on that snow!

Update: Day 1 on new Nokian WRG2's, we got a good rain and these tires really impressed. The car handled like there was no rain and felt like they could handle a lot more than I'm comfortable dishing out.
On dry, compared to stocks, noticed taking wide highway turns I can add a good 10 mph more before getting the '...maybe time to lay off a bit' feeling.
While the tires stick and give you plenty of confidence, the car almost makes you feel like its not supposed to be going this fast around a turn.
Anyways, I'm thrilled with these tires and recommend them to everyone. Can't wait for a good snow. Insight won't fair as well as my H3 I'm sure, but I'm good and ready to compare its cold weather performance to my 02 Subaru AWD (always had lousy tires on em).
FWIW I've always bought cheapo tires
