Show answer and explanation
Correct answer: Yes, by using chains or studded tires.
Yes. On ice, you can improve grip with chains or studded tires. Studded tires are only suitable for ice and snow because they damage the pavement on other surfaces. Even so, you will have much less grip than on a dry surface. Ice alone does not mean driving is prohibited, but it does require you to drive very slowly.
