If you like ending up backwards after heavy braking then stick with 2 winters on the front.

Winter tires will aid you in traction on your front wheels to get going in slippery conditions. It will also help you in braking, but if your rear tires don't have the same grip as the front you are upseting the balance of the car. During braking, your weight shifts to the front which already lessens the grip in the rear. By having lower grip summer tires on the rear the tendency to swap ends has dramaticaly increased.
