I have a 2003 Explorer XLS 4X2 that I bought new and has about 70K miles on it. It's time for new tires and maybe I should consider upgrading the shocks as it has always had a stiffer ride than I'd like (My wife's Envoy is much nicer on the road and I'm jealous!).
I do practically all my driving on pavement and take long trips on the interstate. What I'd like is a good quiet-ridingtire that offers good traction both wet & dry as it hardly ever snows in my part of Texas.
For the shocks...just a nice comfy ride so I don't feel every jolt from the expansion joints they put in the highways around here. Not looking for off-road performance but a more comfortable ride with good control.
Any suggestions?
Thanks,
