Snow tires on rear
As the title explains, I want to put snow tires on my car, but I am on a budget. I found two identical sized tires to the ones I have on now, except they are snow tires instead of low profile street tires. Would this set up cause damage to the tc? My thought is if they are identical except for tread it shouldn't be an issue. Thanks in advance

Mikey, I understand that there are four tires on a car for a reason, but I am also a fan of drifting my car in the snow. I know it is a bad habit and it will destroy my xc, but drifting in the snow is just something I live for.
Exexpat, I would go for the 16" steelies and have actually been looking into them, except I am on a high school budget and really can't afford another $600-900 seeing as that would tap into my saving (aka my fund to resurrect an exploded xcase .)
As always, thanks to everyone for your input. I felt that it was too good to be true that I could actually get snow tires for $60, and it looks like that's exactly how it turned out to be.

saying I can't afford it is really a way for me to just stay frugal until I am done with my education. I am able to afford a set of tires if it comes down to it, but would just rather save my funds for college. It seems a much better investment to simply not spend on something that I can live with so that in the future I will be able to afford the top of the line snow tires on all of my vehicles. I don't know if that makes sense out of context, but that's just sorta how I live my life. I work in the IT dept at a malpractice company so if I really need I could fit in a few more hours, but I just don't like spending money on things if I can get them for cheaper like those snow tires for $60.

I know... I'm going to formally end this thread because I have gotten my answer, and now its just becoming opinionated. Thank you all for your contributions! You saved my x case!
