Is it really recommended to get snow tires? I live in eastern PA.
What is your question?
My front wheel drive is not good in snow or on wet roads. I currently have all weather on. Should I get snow tires and if I do get them, where should I put them? I was told about a year ago that, even though I have front wheel drive, any new tires should go on the back.

Snow tires MUST be installed on the DRIVE axle - in this case the front axle .. It is imperative to have very good tire tread “depth†on ALL tires while driving on snowy roadways!
Even a 1/2 worn out tire will compromise traction when driving during inclement weather conditions .. Tread depth is the key - tires designated for winter driving conditions will greatly improve traction - some folks prefer to use winter / snow tires on front AND back of vehicle.
Yes, go with 4 snow tires; 2 on the front will expose the non-equipped rear wheels to fishtail; 2 on the rear alone will prevent needed traction in the front.
Experience and the knowledge gained from actually driving on slick roads can not be replaced by any-thing else! Good luck!
