Very good advise so far. Make sure you go with 4 which should be obvious. The front tires will help stop the car. Mixing a snow tire with an all season or performance tire would be like wearing sandals on one foot and a snow boot on the other. Stay narrow and not wider. Think of a snow shoe. It's wide and sits up on top of the snow. Keep in mind a tire is a compromise. As others have stated an all season can be looked at as a tire that does everything well or a tire that does nothing well. I believe the latter to be true. A good winter tire can be the difference between wrecking your car or keeping yourself and others safe. It's cheap insurance.
