Default XC60 AWD & 2WD Tyres & Winter

I know there are a lot of threads, that I have read, about tyres and peoples varying views as to whether they should fit winter tyres and whether AWD/4WD and summer tyres is better than 2WD on winter tyres. Stopping distances etc being just the same for 2WD AWD and 4WD irrespective of grip.

When I mention winter tyres I dont mean all season or M+S

My own view is that AWD / 4WD or 2WD on winter tyres is the probable best solution in winter. Looking at Vredestein.

Just wondering how many have used their XC AWD and found it alright on summer tyres in winter having due regard to getting moving , going uphill etc.

Or have you got winter tyres on your 2WD XC60 and find it better or as good as AWD XC60 on summer tyres.

What tyre make have you all got?
