Default Z400 in snow

Hey all. I am purchasing an 04 Z400 this week and I am curious how it runs in the snow. Are there certain tires I should put on for better traction? Any help or insight would be appreciated. thanks

i have a z400 and messed around in the snow a bit last year there is not traction but its fun, holeshots didnt work for **** the only way i've heard of people getting good traction in snow is paddle tires or similar patter blackwaters maybe, but anything with any kind of torque is going to spin in snow and ice unless u get studs and what not
