Interesting, I've had Crossclimate Plus on our Volvo (also 4WD) for a couple of years now and really like them.
That said it's a Cross-Country so softer/longer suspension and the wheels are only 17" with slightly deeper (50 vs 45) profile tyres - 225/50R17 to be precise.
Though the actual sidewall of a 245/45 is only a couple of mm less than a 225/50.
