First I thought you are talking about something like this:
On my mountainbike I have tried Nokian tyres with some 360 studs (four rows) but found those too heavy and too much resistance), so I tried some simpler slimmer Nokia tyres with just two rows halfways out on the shoulder. They run nicely on normal roads with a hard packed snow surface and are by far better rolling than the wider ones.
Also consider that the days will be quite short the further north you get, so invest some money in a good rechargeable headlamp, a backlight and maybe a reflective west!
