i,ve just stuck 2 winters on the front of my work pug and left the normal ones on the back, ebay bargain at £30 the pair with 6mm on
That really isn't a very clever idea.Despite driving many miles on both motorway and B roads the van has never tried to kill me and the drive is no different to driving with normal tyres.
So how does that video show that putting 2 winter tyres on the back is dangerous? As they didn't show what would happen if the car had 4 summer tyres on then it would suggest that putting 2 winter tyres on the rear axis (on a front wheel drive car) is actually better than not.

The video suggests it's pointless, you don't gain any real benefit from snow tyres on the rear axle only.(I know it an old link but it comes up high on a google search)
Going to go out on a limb now and suggest that a tyre manufacturer has made it look like you need to buy more tyres from them.
I haven't seen a road covered in that much snow since 2010.
And I travel around the north of this Island quite a lot.
Even then they didn't put cones out to make you slalom down it.
