How do you expect to get traction in a fwd car if you have crappy tires on the front and good tires on the back. It makes no sense whatsoever.
I'm willing to prove this in the winter. We'll take my daughter's VW Sportwagen and do some experiments. Kind of a waste of time since I know I'm right (I have done this), but if it'll put this to rest we can do it together.

Isn't what you're describing borderline the "drifting in a FWD with fast food trays"?
I agree with Torquedog. The theoretical scenario of blowing out two tires, but having two summers/all seasons available and driving with two summers/all seasons and two winters in inclement weather while doable for such a theoretical scenario, is a completely dumb idea in real life.
The realistic proper answer is, "Call a tow truck, don't risk it."
