Not to burst your bubble but, the only way to drive assuredly on ice is with studded tires.
They are not made any more except, maybe, in sweden.


You can still have non studded snow tires studded for about $8.50 per
tire (WalMart pricing).

I see we are still on the studs thing.

OK I will agree that studs are still available and may be put in certain snow tires for certain applications.

However, there are a lot of area governments that will NOT allow studs on their highways.

There are even some areas that do -- but those area really do get a lot of ice and snow.

Texas, Florida, and my area (Ontario) do not.
