As someone who has a 04 2wd I can tell you best thing is a good set of tires. I run Falken Wildpeak AT4W's 265 65 17 we have decent snows in the winter I just lower the air pressure and go on my merry way.
I swapped mine out for Nokian R5 and had no issues with snow ice, even in the Catskills. I used them for 2k miles
so far they’re quiet, grippy under wet conditions & slightly better in handling & ride than the Dunlop Grandtrek that came with them. Haven’t driven them in snow yet…
I used continentals on mine. It'll improve your driving experience alot, especially when you want that grip.
I use Nokian tires. They are very quiet and I’m satisfied. I’d recommend them to my parents.
I switched over to the Michelin Defender LTX on both vehicles after wearing through original tires and they too have been great in snow.
Personally I went up one tire profile (from 225/50R17 to 235/55R17) and now my Speedo is GPS accurate ± 0.5kmh
I got just under 30k before changing. There was still maybe 5k of tread left to the wear bars on the worst one but I was going on a long trip and wanted new tires for it.
I really don't think these tires are great for either mileage or handling. In fact, the only thing they seemed good for is a comfortable, somewhat quiet ride.
I have had two Goodyear Eagle LS-2 tires literally tear themselves apart within a year of buying them.
I just swapped Pirelli Scorpions that came on my Edge for Geolanders. The scorps only had 35k on them and were cupped with sidewall belts showing.
