Racer_X said:+1 Maxxis Holy Rollers, I used schwable crazy bob's and they had bad traction, slipped on anything loose on the ground.
Maxxis rolls just as good as the crazy bob's but has alot better traction in gravel, loose dirt and soon will find out about snow, Crazy bob's where dangerous in snow.
One thing about Maxxis Holy Rollers which is a plus or a minus depending on how you look at it, is that the tires wear out faster. One 9 month season and I have to get new tires.
Still very happy with it but also open minded to new suggestions for tires

If you plan to stud a wide tire yourself, you don't want a sticky folder. The harder and thicker the better, for studs don't hold so well on a soft gum tire. You need a beaded tire with strong walls and thick hard sole with big blocks. Look at those mud tires from Hutchinson, they do good on the snow and can hold Kold Cutter studs.
