I am very pleasntly surprised! They work pretty darn well on ice, believe it or not! We had a freezing rain on Sunday -- it was almost exactly 32F and the ground was frozen, so it was wet ice. I drove right up a hill on a narrow curvy road, where FOUR vehicles had slid off the road, and one guy was standing on the road and it was so slippery, he was holding on to the driver's door to keep from falling down.
There was only on lane (two cars were on each side of the road) and there was a car coming down the hill, who arrived at the 1 lane section ahead of me, so I slowed way down to let him pass through. And the guy was struggling to stay standing. I managed to
just barely keep rolling (gotta' love those ecodriving skilz!
) -- and I just drove up the icy hill...
