For slush, you want tires with larger void treads with lots of sipes on the remaining blocks. This allows the slush to be directed out/away, while the sipes work to grip the ground on whatever areas are left. Deeper tread depth also helps as it lets the slush flow through the tread better and avoids "skimming" on top of the slush. The narrower your tread to further "cut" through the slush is also helpful.
Examples of tires that would be good for this:
X-Ice North 4 (studded or not studded)
Nokian Hakkapellittaa R5
Continental IceContact XTRM
