I would go for an ICE tire rather than a SNOW tire.
Snow is already safer than ice as it offers a better grip and falls at a milder temperature than "black" ice. Also, traffic is slowed down by snow where as ice covered patches will cath you off gard on a sunny day.
ICE tire such as the one from Michelin, Bridgestone or Toyo are more expensive, but their softer rubber with multiple slents will act as "ventouse" and work good with ABS at any speeds. They wear faster as the temperature gets over freeze point, but are so much safer.
I myself have yet to buy mine...
