If it's gloopy, you want narrower tyres as they'll cut through the sludge onto firmer ground more easily.
I still reckon you're looking at things that are a bit too racy for winter. If you're not after a true mud tyre, you'd be better served with something like Fire XCs/Nobby Nics/Mountain Kings whihc are a reasonable compromise.

(as an aside, does anyone know what 2.2" UST X-Kings are like?)

They are what I'm using as I said and they are proving very usefull. Tyre pressure is the bit I have to suss now as I have to deal with thick mud and a few sections of wet off camber rock.
A fat tyre will just sit on top of the mud so you need thin to cut through the stodge.
On one, I think, are the only people selling that tyre at that price as a loss leader, I paid more than that cost.
