You
CANNOT drive a car that is equiped with
summer tires on the front or on the rear in the snow regardless of whether it has front wheel or rear wheel drive! It has to do with the tread design, rubber compound (flexibility/grip in low and freezing temps, etc.) It has nothing to do with weight distribution, weight on the rear or other things that I've heard including how much tire pressure you add, or subtract.
Driving on summer tires in near freezing temps or in snow is dangerous. There have been other treads on this forum discussing this issue.
Don't do it - clear case of penny wise...!
