That's not to say I don't run snows now on all four corners. But I ran with snows only on the front of my 84 900 for years with trips to PA and VT/NH/ME ski country with adequate directional stability.
IMHO, there is so much weight on the front of these cars that the rears do very little if you keep your head about you. Until I started running high performance tires, I used to just leave the rear tires on the car for 100k miles and change the fronts every 40K like clockwork. Now I rotate and change four at a time and it takes about 40K to take out a set, but they stick a lot better.
