I recently aquired a Honda 200 3 wheeler, I used to ride these in the Imperial Dunes,and this one is so unused that the original tires have 95% tread, but are cracked from age.
I live in the Sierra's now, and will probably use it most in snow, and have heard they do ok.
What types of tires are recommended by experienced snow riders?
Is a smooth sand tire with the single giant rib good for the front?
The back, chevrons or paddles?

To Email, leave my Mom out of it.

Thanks for the advice.
The snow here in the Sierra (cement) is usually a bit wetter and heavier than what falls, say at Aspen and points east. I can often float my Jeepster on it, although 4 tire chains, winch, shovel, food, radio,etc, are an important part of the kit.
Ice riding sounds like a blast, but the only lakes in the Sierra's that get ice thick enough for safe traversing are usually far from plowed roads, and require a snow cat to get in. We seldom get temperatures below 10 degrees F, at altitude.

The front tire I am refering to has a smooth carcass, with about a 3 inch high, 1 inch thick rib in the center. I dont think too agressive a tread would allow floatation, and the front brake would dig a hole. Actually a front ski might be good, but hard to turn.
I will try the stock knobby in front first.
