I'm verry happy with Schwalbes for city-suburb 11 km one way commuting. Good on packed snow, good in shallow snow, good on clean pavement, average in deeper snow, useless in snow over 20 cm.
What he said. I've tried both and the fact that I find myself in deep, wet snow occasionally made me go back to Nokians, even though they're slow and heavy. Slow and heavy beats "fell 6 times on the way to work today."
