Here's what ya really need.
Well, like I said, I found the Marathon Winters usable in snow "as long as there's no other traffic on the road"...LOL. But the implication in what you're saying is that there are better tires for snow, and I didn't find the 294 impressive - pretty much also "usable in snow as long as there's no other traffic on the road"...
I think I gotta get one of those bikes in your picture for some serious snow riding, hehe. :-)
