I recently purchased a set of used steel rims, that included two almost new studded winter tires.
However, nobody around here seems to sell studded tires. Also, I have been warned that studded tires can be hard on the transmission - if some of the studs fall out, then one wheel could slip while the other has grip, thereby stressing the transmission.
Am I correct to think that since I have a front-wheel drive vehicle, I could put the two studded tires on the rear wheels (thereby avoiding the rist of stressing the transmission), and two non-studded winter tires on the front?
