The question is concerning Winter Tires. You had mentioned it on the radio. My father law and I got talking about winter tires. I drive a front wheel drive with all seasons in the back and swap out the front for good snow tires in the winter. He said "You may as well have 4 all seasons on there because you have more traction in the front then the back, and that is dangerious". He also said that rear wheel drives you simply need to swap out the front tires, but with front wheel drive you have to swap out all four. Is this True? Can you explain why? I would think that in a front wheel drive, it's the front pulling you that you need the traction on to steel. I can understand that putting on the winter tires in the back would help a little, but I figure it wouldn't be significant enough to give a HUGE improvement over all seasons. If you can't talk about this on the radio, perhaps you could just hit me back with an email to the one above or John.Burke@aliant.ca please? Thanks. Hi Richard,

Anyhow, thanks for sharing and I think I'll write a post on this on my blog soon.... Jack…
