I would at least have all seasons up front. The reverse of this I did in my FWD cars and just put winter tires up front, was ok even with summers in the rear.

Please don't anybody else ever do this. This is a very dangerous thing to do (and also not what the OP was asking about.)

So ya snow is great if you only get small amounts a couple of times a year or have only ever seen it on TV or Christmas cards. The rest of us think it SUCKS the majority of the time.

I wouldn't be so sure on salt as only alternative. AFAIK it's just cheaper alternative to plowing + spreading gravel, which is more common in eg. scandinavian countries. Damaging for anything outside, including cars & footwear .. but well, that's "our problems", it's cheaper for municipalities to enhance grip on roads by just spraying salt .
I still love snow/ice driving though, and am more like waiting forward to it every autumn. With good & right tires cars are DD easy enough. But fun part of tracking gets much cheaper. |

Alternatives cost more .. but those costs aren't moved upon car owners unlike with salt. I hate to see in city even new cars after 3-4 years show signs of rust, when on countryside even some known rust queens opels easily last 20-30 years with almost no rust at all.. simply because they don't salt there roads

Speaking of salt....I can't remember, are we supposed to put salt in our eyes?

And there is the ever popular beet juice/salt/sand combo that we use.

Salt will fend off ghosts though. After all, municipalities also have exorcist duties, or otherwise why would taxes be that high? To protect citizens from unnatural, obviously.

I have to say .. in these salt pics cars end up looking SO fugly .. but i like how their owners use them all year round for transportation & fun instead of garaging them off
