How do they handle, in general how do T/C's preform? Does anyone change out tires for snow? Thanks, Gene.

Oh no, I don't take mine out of the nice warm shoppe all winter. I'd be scared. Mostly of just getting it salty which would then rust stuff.

I was caught in a blizzard last spring while crossing the mountains. There was about 5” on the ground, hard packed, as we motored through Colorado Springs.

I drove really gently and I did everything really slow. No hard or fast inputs at the controls and never felt the slightest slip at either end. When we got down into Moab the truck was dirty as all get out but other than that no issues at all.

I was quite concerned what would happen if it did start sliding…would it ever stop? Aside from that experience, I subscribe to Bob's program…It sits in the warehouse until late (later now ) Spring.
