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.
Love the look of the beefier tires, went with Falken Wildpeak AT4. No lift or level and no rubbing
For my current car, I got the Falken Wildpeak A/T Trail tires. They have the 3 mountain peak emblem so they're rated for snow. Have had them for close to 2 weeks and so far, so good.
I've had a FWD Corolla for 12 years and it has gotten me through the worst kind of storms in New Brunswick, Nova Scotia, and here in NL with Firestone Winterforce tires. I swear by them! I've gotten through conditions in snow storms that even big jacked up 4 wheel drive trucks got stuck in.
Better tires. The Telly is actually pretty capable off-road on mild trails/loose terrain/snow/etc. with the right tires. The standard Michelin Primacys won't cut it though. I put some Falken Wildpeak AT Trail tires and now this thing handles this stuff better than my '21 Bronco did. (2024 EX AWD).
I went with Falken all season light offroad and they make the car look awesome and feels good in the city.
Falken makes pretty good rain friendly quality tires
I’ve enjoyed mine as well, and I’m about due for a new set.
But, just tossing this out there, I found they aren’t as grabby in soft sand or wet snow as I would have liked (conditions I find myself in).
They’re hyped up, and I liked mine, but don’t plan on getting them again.
I’ve had both the firestones and pilot sports on my corvette. The wet weather grip on the PS is much better. I would fishtail pretty regularly with the firestones. Would not recommend if you plan to drive in the rain.
I’ve had both tires on my Charger. The firestones are very noisy.
