sorry if this has been discussed before but a search yielded me not much more than commuters talking about studded tires (which i don't have)
i have a race this afternoon and there is about 8-10" of fresh powder (and still going). my usual mud/slush tire is a Kenda Kross Supreme (35)

but i also have a pair of IRC Mythos CX Slicks that are 42's

i would generally trend toward the wider tire for so much snow, but i fear the lack of large tread on anything but the edges would negate any advantages? any advice?
