Something designed for wet mud with wide knob spacing. Deep knobs too. If you have the cash Get Nokian studs if there is ice riding in your future. Learn to control the bike in a slide.

I've got Kenda Kross Supremes on my bike. They are pretty aggressive knobbies, 700cx35. In section, the tread pattern "squares" the tire, which makes for not great cornering on pavement.
I'd recommend you look at Continental Twisters. That's going to be my next pair of snow tires. They seem better suited for urban/road riding, and affordable if that is an issue.
