Any knobbly tyres with a fairly aggressive tread will work as well as any other on snow. Dropping air pressure can help a bit too. Slicks and semi slicks are a bit scary though. As has been said. The tread breaks through the surface to bite in.
Snow can offer a surprising amount of traction.
Fat bikes are also great in snow.
On ice or hard-packed snow there is nothing that can compare to studded ice/snow tyres.
I have a pair of Nokian Gazza Extreme 394 tires for when it gets really icy.
You really appreciate how much grip they give you when you stop and try to walk on the sheet of ice you've just been riding on.
They are heavy and noisy on tarmac though.
