On my 245/45/20 sized Volvo Xc60, I employ all-wheel drive. Even on dry pavement, they produce a great deal of noise. Despite the fact that the car had great soundproofing. In a previous year's matchup, the Dunlop Grandtrek Ice02 235/55/19 lost by one wicket to the Pirellis. Dunlops were more peaceful and effective in loose snow, but they were terrible in ruts on the highway.
