SRW 4X4, Camper, 19.5's in the Snow?
Heading out Thursday with 3-6" of snow in the forecast. We don't get much snow around here and have never driven my camper with 19.5's in the snow. What should I expect? I'll bring chains, just curios...

Narrow "pizza cutter" tires are good to a point. Too narrow can be a hindrance also, I had studded 235's once, never again. They were terrible compared to a decent common 265 width tire. Your 245's should be fine with the weight of a camper helping traction in ordinary snow, just remember the increased stopping distance and go slower on corners to prevent pushing.
LOL!!
I remember being in Anchorage one year for work, when the first snow of the season was forecast. Made the comment to a local that at least I didn't need to worry about "The other Drivers" up here. He just laughed and said, "They forget how to drive over the summer"!!!!
That's so true! Same thing in Fairbanks every fall. We figured it was mostly due to the new military families who moved up and had little experience with winter driving.
