Subject:studded snow tires: 2 or 4?

Calling all experts at driving in snow & ice!
This southern California couple is headed to the mountainous snow
country of South Lake Tahoe for the winter. I assume that having studded
snow tires will help us drive our Westy more safely and without as much
need of chains. One vanagon owner that I talked with, claimed that two
studded snowtires (on the rear wheels) would work just as well as
studded snowtires on all four wheels. I would really appreciate any
additional opinions from other vanagon owners who have experience with
either (or both) approaches.
Thanks in advance for your experience.
