Yeah, studs will help you on the ice and bumps made by the footprints. Get as wide tires if possible and use lower than normal tire pressure. You might still fishtail and it won’t feel comfortable but keep a slow and steady pace on low gear. Resist the instinct to stop pedaling as you feel you are losing control. Just keep pedaling and you won’t fall over. And don’t close your mouth.
