Winter Tires

Post by DCunited122 »

Well I need to get some winter tires soon, I am thinking about the Michelin X-ice tires. But is it a good idea to only put two on? Thanks

I would put four tires on. I have four studless snow tires on separate rims on the Volvo right now.

In Maine you are required to put 4 snow tires on any front wheel drive vehicle. RWD you can with just two, I don't the reason for this but I have really only been driving a FWD vehicle for about a year now.
