Snow tire question

[No Jeep]

I live in northern MI, and the first significant snow fall of the year just hit us.

Decided the wifes (principle driver) 2010 Camry LE 4 banger needs snow tires.

It is front wheel drive only, so my question is this. Should I get snow tires for all four wheels, or just the front?

It's recommended nowadays that all 4 wheels have snows, especially for front drive, since the much greater traction on the front can cause braking and handling problems. Back in the 1980s, I had an experience with a front drive car with snows only in the front. I had to watch out when cornering in snow as the the front would hang on and the rear(non snows) would tend to swing out, had to corner very slow in snow. Also one day driving in a snowstorm and was coasting when the rear end decided to swap ends with the front. Back then, snow tires were only recommended for the 2 driving wheels.

Four Blizzaks it is then, thanks.

It makes sense.

I recently put "FireStone WinterForce Tires", around all four corners, & it vastly improved my 1993 V6 LE's snow worthyness!

These Blizzaks are great.

Makes it feel llike a four wheel drive, simply amazing!
