Nokia's Hakkaapelitta No. 10 185R14C are tires you want. They are set to take
studs if you want.

These 185s are about the same circumference as 195/75R14s, have a high load
rating, have stiff tall side walls. They cut though deep snow very well.

I don't have studs as studs are not allowed in Ontario, Canada.
