Winter Tires 2 or 4
Hi
I'm looking in to buying some winter tires before our wonderful Chicago winter weather kicks in. Looking at Michelin Primacy Alpin PA3. Now I heard both opinions, use all 4 for the handling, or as its a RWD car only use two for the rear and keep the all seasons on the front. The all season I have now are the Continentals. This will be mounted on the 16" rims that came standard with the car (clk320).
What are you guys running on yours and recommended?
Winter tires on all 4 or winter on the rear and all season on the front?
I drive a total of 8 miles a day in mostly flat area to the train station with sections of woods with snow blown threw.
Thanks

Just remember that, if you have 2 driving snow tires, you have to steer somehow......vice versa.
