He did not mention the tire rating. For $95 (as he posted), no way it is H-rated.
It should be T-rated.
T-rated: $100/per (upto 118mph)
H-rated: $126/per (upto 130mph)
For CX9, I doubt that you will take it up beyond 100mph. T-rated is sufficient for most people and purposes.
Anyway, to me tires to a vehicle is like the speakers to a stereo system. You spend a little more and get a lot back. I go by the best balance of bang for the buck. For now, it is Yoko Parada Spec-X. There is a reason why it is on back-order. It is very popular with 8.7 score (compared to 7.2 from Pirelli Scorpion) for reasonable $159.

Is that what you have on yours now...or will have... and if you do ... how've they performed? Have you done any light or heavy snow driving in them?

I plan to have Yoko Parada Spec-X.
However, rumor has it that it is near end of production.
Tirerack.com shows shipment date of 11/20/09. We will see.

Putting them on the wife's CX-7 tomorrow morning at the same time as her first oil change. Just got our first snow today outside Boston....damn it's way too early!
 
Will keep you posted, if she lets me drive it again
