+1 on Schwalbe Marathon Winter 700x42. Yes heavy and slow, that's precisely what keeps you from doing something on unseen slickness that will have consequences. Riding which will discriminate tire lightness and responsiveness ignores the blanket caution winter riding conditions necessitate. There's many more ways to slip and fall than just the presence of snow and ice, list members will attest.
I vary the pressure in my Winter Marathons to reduce the studs contacting the road in straight line riding, but not so much to wear the tread prematurely. If the world goes snow globe on me, I let some out for a bigger footprint and more studs engaged. I'm on my fifth year with this set in use on my daily commuting.
