I have a 2002 Explorer Eddie Bauer that I love. Fantastic vehicle, and we call her "Dora" (the Explorer.) I put Michelin Defender LTX M/S on mine. Works wonderfully, and since my family loves it too, the Michelins bring peace of mind since they are comfortable, tough, and have excellent traction wet and dry (I've not tried snow since it doesn't snow in SoCal.)
I'd be inclined to go with something like this : BFGoodrich Advantage T/A Sport LT - Size: 235/70R16 it is Severe Snow Service Rated and $136.99 @ Tire Rack
I have high praise for their overall quality. I owned a set of Savero HT2 all seasons and ran them on an older Explorer. They wore like iron; outstanding quality.
I just want to add my 0.02$ on this, I recently bought my first Nokian tires every to put on our new Explorer and I can honestly say in the 3000km's we've driven in the last month that they are hands down the best winter tires I've ever experienced. Time will tell how much performance will be lost as they wear down and how long they will last but to date, color me very impressed. Mine are studded and the ice performance is outstanding fwiw.
