Im sure I saw a test on tv that 2 were worse than none for stability

Not sure on the logic as you would only put chains on 2....although that is normally only briefly

I saw this video a while back, talks about 2 vs 4 winters, seems to back up what you were saying. Although it is sponsored by a tyre site so its clearly in their interest to get 4 winters on your car rather than 2!

I ran a vectra c estate for about 3 years with just winters on the front with no issues.

John.

You're brave

Crap tyres on the back with tired shocks and they become so tail happy that they make a Crappy look civilised

Crappies are perfectly civilised if you know how to drive them

Sideways, through some boxes, with a bad perm? Am I right?

You forgot the bit about being hot on the tails of "some slag" in a Mk.II Jag.

I think you're confusing The Professionals with The Sweeney

HAHA my first tyre thread 

Mrs Omegod does a fair old run to work which includes covers some untreated country roads, I'm considering throwing a couple of winter tyres on 2 spare rims I have for the front end of her Fiesta. Why not 4 ? I'm a tightarse and the rears are pretty much brand new   

Any thoughts? is it worth the bother?

Bad timing, just as you need advice on winter tyres, the OOF Reading East expert is on extended gardening leave.

Having watched the video I'll give it some more thought, what about just putting one on the nearside front ?
