My 4 cents (cuz I've had this discussion on here already): I hear what they're saying but I like my best tires in the front. For me here in snow and ice country, getting going and stopped are bigger issues than losing it on a corner... why? Because I'm not stupid. I know when the road is slippery and drive- i.e. select appropriate speed- accordingly. Plus if things do get hairy anyway, I've got lots of seat time in rear engined vehicles; oversteer doesn't cause me to freak out, freeze, steer the wrong way, and stand on the brakes.
