Can Snow Tires Be Installed Only on the Front Wheels?

No, it's best to replace all four tires, otherwise it may cause side slipping. Many cars currently use anti-skid chains, but they can only temporarily handle ice and snow. If used for a long time, they can severely damage the tires. Installing only on the front wheels: Installing winter tires only on the front wheels will result in insufficient grip for the rear wheels. When driving on winter roads, this can easily cause oversteering or brake shudder. Installing only on the rear wheels: Installing winter tires only on the rear wheels will lead to insufficient grip for the front wheels, and the vehicle is prone to steering issues when driving on winter roads. Therefore, it is recommended to replace all four winter tires simultaneously. Note that winter tires of the same specifications, brand, structure, and tread pattern must be installed on the same axle.
