Volvo XC70 AWD better and quieter than Pirelli Scorpians they replaced. Car is heavy with high center of gravity but these tires make high speed driving safe and the braking distance is improved noticeably. Liked them so much bought a set of Nokian Winter tires. Hence summer tires have lasted four seasons and still have a couple of thousand miles in them. Chech pressure regularly and rotate tires front to back. These have proved quiet on good surfaces and returned great mpg and comfort. They are cheaper than many comparable makes. The winter tires are fantastic too.
