Is it okay to only replace the front tires with winter tires?

[DelDaniel]

Winter tires should not be replaced only on the front wheels. Correct practice: All four tires should be replaced with winter tires of the same specification, brand, structure, and tread pattern. Consequences of replacing only two tires: If only two winter tires are installed, the following situations may occur: Installing winter tires only on the front wheels will result in insufficient grip on the rear wheels, making the vehicle prone to oversteering or brake-induced skidding when driving on winter roads. Installing winter tires only on the rear wheels will lead to insufficient grip on the front wheels, causing steering issues when driving on winter roads. Therefore, it is recommended to replace all four winter tires at the same time, ensuring that tires on the same axle are of the same specification, brand, structure, and tread pattern.
