Just replaced my two front tires with brand new ones; leaving the old ones on the back. Just having all seasons all around I found with the new tires on the front I have a lot more control when accellerating and braking, but it is now way easier to put the car into a skid if a I take a corner the wrong way. Front tire bite in, rear tires try to pass the front ones.
I've heard it suggested that if going with two tires to put them on the back of a FWD car. Now I understand why. Myself, I share the common trait among the CP community of having above average driving skills so I can deal with it and it's "better" for me. Not knowing your daughter's skill set, she might be better with them on the back.
However new rear all seasons with new front snow tirs may not be as bad of a combination.
