WRG2 is severe winter rated, but they were discontinued for the WRG3s 4 years ago. You should check the date of manufacturing on the sidewall to make sure they're not too old (Depending where you read, it's generally recommended tires shouldn't be more than 6-10 years old as performance deteriorates with age; winter tires have shorter shelf lives as well).

I also had the WRG2s on two vehicles, worked well in the snow, but longevity was not great.
