on perfectly smooth (dry pavement) conditions slicks perform better than knobbies because they put more rubber on the road. but i dont think that applies to ice.
I'd tend to think from experience that a slick would just spin in place on ice. unless you keep your center of gravity nearly perfect and apply small consistent amounts of pressure on the pedals at a very slow cadence/speed.
pretty much anything with out studs is questionable on ice for any kind of distance
