Question Delaware G35 Owners: Running All-Seasons, Snow, or Summer Tires?

I'm located in North Delaware and yes the snow here isn't THAT bad but at the same time I'm not trying to crash my G35 coupe. So my bodyshop is going to replace my front tires after getting into an accident should I throw on all-seasons up front and just leave the rear summer tires? Or will it absolutely slide all over the place?

In the past with my FWD cars all-seasons up front were all I needed but I know it maybe different with RWD.

Thanks!

MIKE, you need at the very bare minimum ALL SEASONS. Summers will do you no good in the winter and they don't work very well under 40-45 degrees.

This is a good article:

Hit me up on AIM if you want

Hey dude, will do. I picked up all-seasons for the front and I might even throw on some winter tires in the rear unless they're terribly noisy, etc.

First winter I ran on stock summers. They ended up being defective and they gave me all seasons. Much better. I don't think snow tires are necessary at all (I'm outside of Philly).

Just buy a second car. I bought a neon about three years ago for crappy weather days. paid 1100 bucks for it. made me appreciate my g more when i got in it. after saving and paying off the g, i went and bought an 05 tl for all the crappy weather days when i dont feel like rocking the infiniti.
