That's very much not recommended. It risks giving you a loose rear end and will make your car more prone to spinning both during cornering and braking. Do all 4.

think of it as having 2 good tires on the front and 2 bald tires on the rear in the summer...not good....but do-able...

In the old days (rear wheel drive) it was common to just through a set of snows on the drive wheels, not recommended at all with FWD!
