The only negative I've read about the Nordman WR is that it's got sloppy steering response (like a typical winter tire) - I don't see that as an issue for him.
The WRG3s would run him about $250 more than the WRs' - any reason to think that it's worth it?

Nordman is owned by Nokian. The Nordman WR's are literally the same as Nokian WRG2's. Basically you're looking at a $250 difference between last generation and the current generation's technology. The WRG3's should have better traction and responsiveness, but unless your FIL is all about catching the apex you're better off saving the money and going with the Nordman's.
