The Continental Spike Claws, at 2.1", are wider than the Nokia Mount & Ground (thanks, Leebo) or the Schwalbe Winter 100 (thanks, Kingston), so although I hear what corrado33 said about a narrower tire slicing through, these are the top contenders, so-far: https://www.niagaracycle.com/categor...SABEgI4x_D_BwE

[MENTION=160128]1989Pre[/MENTION], Not sure what your conditions are, but for the type of riding I do in the winter, which is mostly plowed and icy roads, the tires you linked to with no spikes in the center of the tire would not be a good choice.

One pic shows the tire without studs in the center. If you keep clicking, you see this, so maybe they send a kit with studs for the center as an option?:
