To answer your question, sorry no but I've never heard of such tyres. Which of
course doesn't mean that they don't exist. During the almost 700 hours and 15
years which I flew my Europa as a mono-wheel in Scotland, I managed to scare
myself
on slippery surfaces including ice, hard-packed snow, "greasy" grass runways
and aquaplaning on flooded runways. Each time was pretty scary and I'm not
at all confident that winter tyres would have helped, particularly on ice and
hard-packed snow.
Landing the mono-wheel Europa is challenging enough and I wouldn't recommend
that
anyone should make it even more so. But then I guess that there are some hardy
souls who would laugh at my trepidation. Probably it would be okay, maybe
even less challenging, to land directly into wind on fresh non-packed snow.
