Sounds like fun!

Some people do that in the winter, putting one studded tyre in the front and a "normal" tyre in the back, as buying a complete set of studded tyres is too expensive or too much hassle. With the winter we have here, I prefer a full studded set. In summer road conditions I don't think there's much need for different wheels.
