Drove in the snow in the mountains of WV from 1966 till about 1989 when I left....Gotten pretty good at it, but back in the late 60's and early 70's, family didn't have a 4 wheel drive, had a Buick Electra and a Pontiac Catalina...both rear wheel drives, GY snow tires....6" of snow isn't much, it was normally back in the 60's and 70's, 12 to 15" or more..you either went or you didn't..most times we did, when we couldn't we put on chains....My dad alway's bought GY tires, never an issue...Had rear wheel and front wheel drive cars in WV and VA and alway's got to where we needed to go, no big deal..it's what you get use to....again, I don't know about Chinese manufactured tires on MH's, Class C's, little trailers that tow "some stuff...what I know is 5th wheel and TT's with 6,000# and 7,000# axles, (using D, E or G rated tires, depending on weigh rating of the axles....lighter TTs and 5er's....probably not a problem, but move up in weight and last tire I would use would be a Chinese manufactured ST tire,....one exception , the Sailun S637, the company is ISO and TS certified, TS16969 accredited...They build quality into their manufacturing process, most of the others have no clue what quality is.....
