Mingus,

TRACs is the traction control system. It does not make your car AWD. If you have a V70 GLT with no AWD designation, it is not AWD.

I would at least replace the tires in pairs, but if you can only replace one I would make sure it is on the back. Since you are using all-season tires in the snow, I would make sure that they have at least 6/32 of an inch of tread depth. If you have less, I would replace all 4.

I'm not sure what would be softer than MX4s. Those are pretty cushy tires compared to what I like to use. If you replace just one, stick with the same tire.

My 2 cents. I'm sure you'll get more opinions.
