If you don't have chains, and you get caught in the snow, is it better to lower your brake control setting? I would think you would want less breaking in the rear if there is snow on the road.

I towed in snow and just left them the same. I you lessen them, the trailer will push the rear of the TV around.

Just an FYI towing an pass in the left coast in winter without chains, you may be looking at ticket. My TV and 5er both have chains year round, no need to hunt down in the fall.
