Apparently they're classified as "All-Weather" tires?
They seem to be at a good price and their Kal Test Results are pretty good. They should be good enough for Vancouver winters?

While people are recommending Blizzaks and X-ICE, a part of me wonders if I really need top end snow tires when my commute is always within the city.
edit: lol, forgot to change wheel size... they're not as cheap as I thought anymore

Correct! They are all weather so you can run them all year round, even in the summer. Think of them as super winter capable all seasons.
I think they're a good fit for someone who lives in a not as hilly area of Metro Vancouver, doesn't want the hassle of a second set of rim & tire, but still wants confidence in slushy & snowy winter daily driving and an occasional run to Whistler/Cypress.
The APA seems to think that the newer WRG3 (the WR = WRG2) is comparable to high end winter tires:

As you've noticed, they can get quite pricey.
