Once I need to replace them, I'll be getting a set of Nokian WRG2 for year-round use. The Finns know winter.

I had a set of Nokian WR's for 7 years on my previous vehicle - they were very long-lasting - and my sister runs WRG2's on her Audi. They are great tires, and I will have no hesitation to put a set on my X1.
I would consider them seriously, but I have bad news for you: they don't make them for X1.
They don't offer them in 225/50/17 (my setting and yours now), nor in my new setting 225/45/18.
So I guess you will soon go trough the same problem as I am now.
