I went with falken FK460 silent core (which is with ev foam). I like them so far and was about 1100 out the door (installed, balanced and tax and all).
I bought my miata with some pretty thrashed Falken Azeni RT615Ks on them and they grip pretty good, and even with the tread worn down to the wear bars they're not completely terrifying in the wet.
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.
It has nankang cr-s 255s on the rear and it wheel spins solidly on all gear shifts to 180km/h. It will need drag radials.
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.
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).
Had AT3s on my Tacoma and they were good tires but I only got 40k before they started really sliding in light rain. Switched to Pirelli Scorpions last month as they were $180 vs $211 for the AT4 at Discount. Pirellis are very quiet and smooth so far.
Look out for shoulder cracks on the Falkens. Tread might look great, but the tread cleats will start to crack on the shoulders. Nothing you can do about it. Plan on replacing them around 25-30k miles.
Falkens don't last more than 30k miles.The rubber starts to break down after 16mo. Tread is fine, but they start to crack at the shoulder. Even if you rotate them like a good human, even if you park in a heated garage, even if you wash your car every week or two. Big box tire shop and the manufacturer won't so anything for you either. Happened to me and will NEVER buy them again.
