i have only tried riding on snow at the sand dunes. i would assume it would not work well though.

I am going to try it whenever it finally snows. I imagine it would work better than dirt tires though.

it should work pretty good. but once the snow gets packed down i think it would be a pretty rough ride.:ermm:

Some old school ITP Blackwaters maybe? Paddles will work for sure but the rear might be all over the place with no lateral traction....Like when on the side of a hill. Not sure if I'm saying that correctly!! Goodluck, either way it'll be fun.

i recently asked the same question, and some guy on here from canada said they dont work that well. he said he rides primarialry in snow and said they make some snow tires for quads that work really well compared to padles.

paddle tire will pull you ok in powder as long as your running in a straight line and not making hard corners. otherwise youll be likely to spin out.

as mentioned the 4snows are good or the pro wedge II's

i dont think paddle tires would be good but i used to have itp blackwaters and they were good. i also have puresport realtor tires, they are like paddles but they dont have a scoop on the paddels. there for sand and mud and i would imagine they would be good in the snow
