Mine did good in the snow last year and fair on the ice. Honestly ice is ice...some tires do better than others but there is no magic ice tire unless it has studs

The only tire that does good on ice is a dedicated winter tire that is studded. But i was very pleased with my trail grapplers in our winter in NE Ohio. They saw it all. Only time i had issues was when it was raining and freezing on the road. The roads looked like glass and were like an ice cube. My rear tires in 2wd would just spin. I could let off the gas and brake, go no where and still be spinning. Put it in 4wd and no problems then. You just have to drive responsible and smart.
