So my questions are: > 1. Any body know how these Falkens are in the snow? Don't know, but I would guess these are all season and they should get you through, if you are careful. > > 2. Can I put snow tires on the front only? Only if you like doing 180s in the snow. If you drive really really really carefully, you can get by with snow tires on the fronts only. I am not that good a driver and I make sure all four tires are the same make, model, size and condition. You would be better off with four matching all seasons than two snows on the front only. I tried it once and pulled a 180 going around a curve in snow. > > 3. Any recommendations for Saab service in the Burlington area? > > Thanks,
