Winter driving w/TC
I am no stranger to winter driving. We ski and I drive a lot in nasty/icy conditions. However, we usually don’t take the TC skiing until the shoulder season (late Feb/early March) when day time temps ...

Winter tires create better rubber contact with snow/ice, they bite better and offer a quiet ride over snow tires as well as longer wear.
We use them on all our fleet vehicles, with very good results. I could feel the difference when running the course in the snow, I was able to push the speed and stay within the cones, something I could not do running all seasons.
this explains things better than I can.

Bill, do your best (wax/sprays) to protect your tie-downs , rear skirts and jacks from New England road salt. That's what did me in and is probably why I had so many jack binding issues, cracked fastguns and rotted tie-down brackets that I had to replace.
We now have the cabin and use the lease SUV to head north to snowmobile. It took its toll on the camper that we now use in warmer weather.
Good luck with your new camper, regards to the family , stay safe.

Bob...no more snowmobiling with the TC?!
You were my (winter) inspiration!
We are running Goodrich Commercial Traction T/S M+S rated tires...and they are the best tire I have EVER had in the snow.
We'll see how this winter goes in New England...it it is icy we will probably just wait until spring skiing as we usually do.
If snow is good and roads not too bad....could be we'll use the TC all winter.
Thanks for all the good advice...last thing I want to do is roll our new TC into a ditch...
