Glad the TB are working for you in winter Deacon. I wish they would for me. I've been running a really aggressive knobby Maxxis tire, can't remember the model, and while it bites like crazy at low pressures, man... I feel like I'm dragging a chain. If I increase the pressure I can zip along on the pavement fine, but BZZZZZZZZZZZZZZ etc. Plus they don't hold the fast corners very well when pumped way up.
I've been thinking about trying the TBs again on the weekend when the temperature is slated to drop below -20C for the next few weeks. Some good, proper cold should pack down the trails. I always found a 32mm file tread gripped HARD in that condition, and the TB isn't much more than that in terms of tread, so I'm hopeful. I normally run them around 25psi in summer or so, but I had them as low as 13-15ish when it snowed and I was still sliding out left right and centre. I'll also second the recommendation of the TB as the perfect all-rounder tire. They are fantastic on pavement, and even better on gravel and trails. TBs are an incredible tire.
