I have a 4WD - do I need to replace all four tyres at the same time?
I have a 2016 Hyundai Tucson four-wheel-drive. What tyres would be your choice and would you replace just the front two or all four? I am told if just the front two are replaced, the new tyres should be put on the rear and the existing rears placed on the front - is this correct?

You have to replace all four or you won't just come off the road in the snow, you'll damage the 4WD system. I'd go for Michelin Cross Climate SUV, Continental AllSeason Contact, Goodyear Vector 4 Seasons, Pirelli Scorpion Verde all season. (Depends on the size.) Try Motokiki.com (bit.ly/2EF0U04) and Blackcircles.com (bit.ly/2JM6bqG) for sizes and prices and read our Tyre Buying Guide (bit.ly/2wsFHBU).
