schwalbe land cruisers if your not racing because they are cheap and tough
michelin mud 2 if you are racing, they are light and grippy and roll ok
and then either some michelin jets or kenda small block 8's for summer use because they fast

thats what i have anyway

I'd like fast tyres for races. I have another (road) wheelset for training.

IMO tread matters little-the contact patch is so small there's **** all traction!

Al - shakes head.
I reckon it depends where and in what conditions you're riding. Personally I like Tufo Flexus Cubus 34s for grip, ride quality and survivability with original Michelin Mud for hefty slop. Cinder Cross seem to have a decent compromise between grip and rolling resistance although the SO has been happy with WTB Cross Wolf.

I need clinchers.

The autumn is wet and cold here, the winter is freeze, but there wasn't too much snow in the last few years. (But was a lot of ice, frozen dirt and mud.)

Yeah, second the Racing Ralphs - not at all as fragile as I thought they'd be.
