If winter tires are installed on the front of any vehicle, winter tires should also be
installed on the rear. Without winter tires on the rear, vehicle handling can be
adversely affected due to traction mismatch. This may result in the loss of vehicle
control.

For front wheel drive vehicles it
is recommended that winter
tires, with or without studs, should
be mounted on all four positions.
For rear wheel drive vehicles it is
recommended for the best traction and handling
to use winter tires on all four positions.
