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.
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
Finally bought bigger tires, Falken Wildpeak A/T 255/55r18, and couldn’t be happier. Even without NVH foam, the ride is quieter, smoother, and less bumpy.
The 265/70/17 is a perfect fit. Should have any issues other than fuel economy because the at4 is a heavy tire.
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.
Absolutely horrendous. I bough a new 2024 Keep Wrangler with Nexen tires for rural mail delivery (a mixture of dirt and paved roads) back in October. When I hit 16,000 miles a couple months ago, the front left tire steel belt shredded and a hole bubbled through the middle of the tread creating a slow leak. The other three tire worn down to about 2/32" and were showing chunking and shredding as well. I submitted claims on these tires with Nexen. Their response was that I have overinflated the tires and that it was a. end of life issue.
