Tires Falken or Nokia
Nokians. Theyre expensive, but they make incredible tires.
All season tires dont compare to good winter tires. I discovered nokian hakkapallittas and never getting any other winter tire
Nokian Hakkapeliitta R5s are le top du top.
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).
Splurge on Nokian, I have been driving on the same set of winter tires for the last 14 years. Still have about 5mm of thread left.
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.
I swapped mine out for Nokian R5 and had no issues with snow ice, even in the Catskills. I used them for 2k miles
I used to have a set of 2019 nokian snowproofs on my car and used them on all weather conditions last winter they have a thread depth of 6mm ,they were adequate on all weather conditions also ok on snow but i didn't like their performance on snow they skidded more than usual especially on snowy uphills
Note to self to never buy Nokian, those things are toast.
