I go uphill in snow on a 25c slick on a 50x17 singlespeed.
If your goal is fast.... then you will learn to climb. (on the tire you posted)
In my opinion, not loosing traction uphill is a marriage of gear choice, weight, and fitness. In short If you don't have the fitness to sit n spin smooth and maintain traction, then "fast" on the rest of the ride is sort of irrelevant. As 'fast' is also based on fitness.
