I think the answer is one. They would have to sell an awful lot of tires to make up losing one multi-million dollar lawsuit.
Can you successfully sue them if they sell you all-seasons without making you sign a form promising that you won't use them in the winter? Two winter tires on the back is still better than that!
I was actually surprised that Canadian Tire sold me two studded Goodyear Nordics today on loose rims with no questions asked, and no recommendation that they be used on the rear. However, I had no doubt that they'd sell them to me if I explained that I had two other studded tires in decent condition for the front. It says right on their sign that if only two tires are purchased, they must be installed on the back.
