Travel in winter conditions

I see many discussions re winter use --- my newbie question - How do you avoid icy/snowy roads? My Subie can handle the ice & snow but I visualize a skidding, swerving T@B!! This may seem like a dumb question, but I'm serious...snow tires or just wait for a clear road?

Snow tires on the tow vehicle, and chains and a winch in the trunk. But just regular tires with at least 6/32" tread on the T@B. Never had a problem with the 320 on ice and 6" snow.
But never have had to emergency brake with the rig either. Even with a brake controller, if you brake hard enough on slippery stuff while turning I'd think things could get exciting.
If really worried you could get chains to fit the T@B wheels. But Nucamp or Dexter may not recommend that.2021 Jeep Gladiator, 2021 tiny toy hauler, Austin TX

I think most try to avoid towing on snow and ice. That is why folks plan their routing using southern routes and predominantly traveling in the 3 seasons.Sharon / 2017 T@B CSS / 2015 Toyota Sienna Minivan / Westlake, Ohio
