I my opinion there are 3 very clear winners for winter commuting tyres:
Conti Nordic Spike 240
Nokian hakka 240
schwalbe winter marathon
All of these have a low temperature specific rubber compound and 240 well placed steel carbide tipped studds.
For less extreme winters you can get the 120 stud versions of the nordic spike, or the hakka, or the Schwalbe snow stud.
(there are 360 stud tyres available, but I would'nt class them as commuting tyres)
Byt yeah if you have clearance issues a A10 is better than no studs, and it is still made with the same materials as the hakka.
