Its not about getting up to speed traction, but the stability traction, going around corners, stopping and hydroplaning. When you have different grips on the road during inclement conditions the back end will ride out and through the car off the curve, Its is a deadly combination. You are better off with four not so good tires rather than two snows on the front with tires that don't grip on the back, because you will not get going as fas in a straight line. Hey John

For my Gd. 11 Physics class. if you have any more info it would be great if you could post some of it Great Article very VERY true. i liked your article it was very informative. see im looking for any info on the physics of snow tires.

I normally leave all season on the back and swap out the front with good winter tires. I could see it being slightly better to swap out all four, but the seems a question of price and effort to do all four. Any chance you could comment on front wheel drive winter tires?
