Winter tires
I've got a 2007 Mustang (not a GT) and was wondering if you guys recommend putting just 2 winter tires on the back or going with all 4 winter tires?
I've always hada winter beater suv so I've never had to deal with snow tires before, but unfortunately I no longer have that luxury.

RE: Winter tires
I'm in Boston so you never can tell what New England winters will bring - just want to be prepared.
I bought 4 tires as I was under the impression that when you put only 2 winters on you mess with the handling of the car because of the different types of rubber used on each set. I just began to question myself when some friends gave me crap for buying 4 and telling me it was nonsense that you have to buy 4. So I figured I'd check in here just to make sure I'm not going crazy....well...

RE: Winter tires
My 89 GT was used in PA winters, a lot of snow.
I had an extra set of rims so I put a pair of
Blizzacks on the rear and 3 bags of sand in the
hatch. Make sure you go 1 or 2 sizes narrower
than the stock.
Never got in an accident.
The tire guys want you to put 4 on but that is
mostly to get your $$$$. Itr may help the
steering but you already have a lot of
engine weight over the front.
I just made sure that the front tires were the best
tread of remaining tires.
