Schwalbe Marathon Plus. Not sure if they qualify as 'cross', but they certainly are treaded. Supposed supreme puncture resistance and I've had no issue with grip even in the recent snow and ice. Although I'd resisted seeing just how far they'd go before they broke away. The pavement is looking very hard of late.
Riding my MTB a lot and with knobbies the grip on the ice and hard snow is far greater than with a booted foot that's for sure. So I expect it's the same with any treaded entity that rolls with even power. Weight off the front, beautifully balanced cadence seems to work well. We did a pub ride last night and overtook a walker slipping all over the place. He watched us glide past with a look of mild disbelief on his face.
