So i'd say, front and back.

i posted a video showing why you should use snow tires on all 4 wheels. but, if you are forced by circumstance, put them on the rear wheels and slow down especially on corners.

LOL I hate how bonded my Cherokees rims bond to the hub... an hour of hitting the tire with my BFH and BFA. I found my nice thick crowbar and stuck it through the rim wedging the claw between the drum and rim and pulled and hit it.. still nothing. I had to get a 2 foot pipe over my 3 foot crowbar and pry on it till it popped off sending me flying out the garage door hahaha. Jeep is in winter mode

Most people in Metro Vancouver don't need winter tires.
Most people in Metro Vancouver just need to learn how to fucking drive.

I went up last Wednesday so it should be the same. And I'll check back with Cypress after I return tomorrow 
EDIT: Cypress update, it was snowing a fair amount up there. The roads down below are alright, just wet. Once I got up about 60% of the way, snow started to form on the ground and the roads were icy, touching my brakes activated my ABS and I had my rear end slip a bit on me. The overnight parking lots are covered with a dusting of snow.

Went to Big White over the weekend and tested out the German made General Tires Altimax arctic. Two words. NO PROBLEM.
Weather conditions were mixed with snow at the peak, going up slush with ice and everything in between. Didn't have a problem. While i was up there, i noticed a hand full of people running the same tires.
I am happy with my purchase.

the General Altimax Arctics are my favorite winter tire right now.
I've had the XICE1, WS60, now these.
Why are they my favorite? WS60 wore 40% in a year, sure they have awesome ice grip but the Generals arent that far off.
My gf drove the generals on her car all year long, and they've barely worn. Im very happy with them.

Ok. I admit it. I put my all-seasons back on. We are averaging 8-10 degrees in dec!
Anyways ill have my dedicated winters ready when we start talking consistent low temps and actual snowfall. Combo of all seasons and awd with careful driving will be good enough.

Wait until the end of this month or hit Feb and we'll probably start getting back into the cold snaps where winter tires are necessary.
