I've had one of these threads in the past. Glad you made it out safe. Makes me consider getting snow tires for my Civic.

If you're really cheap just get them for the front wheels.

I've never heard this advice before. Isn't that dangerous? I can imagine the front tires sticking and the rear tires slipping after a moderate turn, resulting in an easy spinout, which are not fun at all...

In FWD cars everything happens on the front tires. There's less weight on the back ones, and a spin out won't really happen unless you're really going too fast or don't know to give it gas when turning etc. Obviously all 4 tires is best, but the front 2 is going to be giving you like 80% of the safety.
