I ride a 3 wheeler in the winter, so I can handle a lot more sliding and spinning.
I was thinking along the lines of a thinner tire to cut through as well. If there is no ice the Continentals could be just about as good.
I used to have a set of the 26in. Schwabe studs and seem to remember they floated on top of the snow which caused slipping.
I now run 700c tires with inner Continental Winters. And set of 35c Schwalbe Winters. Only ridden the Schwalbes in a dusting, so dont know how well they cut through.
