Winterforce tires on Outback - opinions?

[georgie]

My dealer says the Bridgestone Winterforce tires work well in snow and
slush - do they? And how about on dry roads after the snowplow has
already been through? Are they terribly noisy?

Any other winter tire suggestions?
Thanks. (2002 Outback)

It's a snow tire. Of course it's going to be noisy on dry pavement.
Tirerack reviews mostly say that the noise is tolerable.
