Test of snow tires vs all season-video from Road and Track

My local tire chain has just announced that they will not mount only 2 snow tires on any vehicle starting 2017.

IMO they are just wanting to sell me more tires for my 2WD rear drive truck!

I understand matching tires on 4WD vehicles. And maybe on FWD (where they were saying to put 2 snows on the rear?). But not on my truck!

And this is from someone that told me to buy all-season instead of winter for year round use on my Sonata. I read an article that stated you get better stopping year round with winter tires, but sacrificing tread ware.

The point of that article (getting better stopping power with winter tires) is why you should have 4 winter tires even for a 2 wheel drive truck.

IMHO it's just as important to stop as to get going. Prolly more important.
