This thought came to my mind as I tried to get home the other day and slid off the road several times (doing 1-2mph, the road simply would not support my car. Even sitting still, it would slide off the road). No damage done. (No, I did not make it home, I had to sleep at work).
I got out, walked to the center-line (no traffic...obviously), and I myself began sliding. I could not stop, and knew I would fall, so I went to ground there, controlled. I lay on my side like a baseball player making for Home, and I slid 15+ feet until I flew off the road and into the ditch.
I don't think a tire is made that can mitigate this unless carbide tipped studs, or chains, are involved. Am I wrong?
4WD SUV's didn't work out well, either. Picture taken near the road to my drive:
