For what kind of riding?
As long as the snow is soft enough for the tires to leave an imprint, I’ve been quite happy with pretty much any knobbly tire.
For my commuter and rides featuring ice/hardpack, I’ve only used studded tires. And, given how much traffic I see, I don’t skimp on those.
Favourites are Suomityres W240. Hard wearing, plenty of studs and grippy in soft snow. Fairly high rolling resistance.
Schwalbe Marathon Winter are so-so. Good stud count, good rolling on bare ground. Poor grip on slushy snow and HUGE variation in quality. Have had to return a couple.
