Dozers and tanks don't like ice either. In fact, I've seen bulldozers slide right off the side of the trailer. For this reason, many operators haul their dozers on trailers decked with cottonwood.
The cottonwood doesn't last long, but it's soft enough to allow the dozer tracks to sink into, providing loads of traction.
I have heavy duty V-bar chains on my tractor and truck. Nothing better......but the chains limit my travel speeds to a max of 30 mph. Studs are far better for highway travel.
I think the studs on your tracks will prove to be very good on ice. Hopefully you can remove them for summer use.
