IMO you won't like the solid rib tire like the XPS Rib or better yet cost wise the Bridgestone R-250 as it has no tread lugs for traction in green grass or a muddy campsite or winter driving on snow pack or slush. A empty 2wd DRW needs all the help it can get under those circumstances.
The Cooper HT-3 or similar tread would be a perfect choice with its two solid outside ribs and a all season type tread in the center for a bit of traction. Cooper recommends this tire for commercial service.
my 2wd truck works perfect in snow. Its sits inside the heated/dehumidified garage all winter :). I might take it out for a Sunday drive if the roads are clear but I have other vehicles for daily driving.
I put Cooper SRX on my jeep liberty last fall, I hope its a good tire for the beach this summer but its been great in the snow this winter.
I had great luck with Cooper SRMII on a 98 2500 diesel.
when its time, I will probably go with the Cooper HT3 on front, and maybe a little more traction like the cooper HTP on the back.
