Default do 3 wheelers do good in the snow?

i have just purchased a honda 185s 3 wheeler that will get used for the soal purpose of ice fising, do they do good in the snow? i know there are a few tires that help traction out but are there any ideas how to make it better or do they do poor in snow? any past expierences? with the large 25 inch wide tires i think it would do ok in the snow but always could be wrong

my 185s does well, make sure to keep a good speed and don't break trail anymore than 1.5 feet of snow or you will be pushing if it's soft. I took mine across feilds so it should do good across lakes.

wolly bogger go mint in the snow. itp mud lites also go good. if there isn't much for snow put some kold kutter screws for extra traction. i have ams aerospeed paddle track on my 85 R and I go through plenty of snow from .5' to 2.5'. a skinnier from tire helps with more air in it

well, not to many replys about this topic but the question asker his-self has a fallow up. i recentley went ice fishing and yep it was well needed. testing my new little honda almost every cold morning a month untill my trip, was well worth the trouble and i almost got a little pleasure out of it, only ran into a few problems with it not starting, the problem i found was to be the spark plug i changed to a smaller plug that i had purchased the sotore in town, but after that it started better and i had to kik up the idle a little, it always starts on the first pull? wow!. i arived to the lake in early morning around 7:00 (three hour drive) the little three wheeler started and ran perfect, not too much snow at all but there was about 3-4 in. i set my 12x14 canvas wall tent up on the ice and started the stove and stayed for 5 days strait, i didnt want to return and had such a relaxing get away inside my cozy tent house, checking my tip-ups on my little 3 wheeler 185
