Cyclocross tires on Trek 7.3 FX for winter?

Hey everyone,

I live in Southern Illinois so the winters here are milder than up north, but we still see plenty of rain and a little bit of snow.

I have a Trek 7.3 FX that I love riding, but would like some grippier tires for winter. Right now I am running 700 X 32 Bontrager race lite tires which are great for dry roads, but I worry about how they would perform in winter since they have no tread.

I was thinking about the cyclocross tires pictured/linked to below... I have never ridden in winter before so I am looking for some opinions. Should I get the 700 X 35s? I don't think I need studs or anything because it rarely drops below freezing for long here...

Any comments are much appreciated, thanks!
