Years ago (mid 1980a) I had 19mm slick Michelins (pPro iirc) and I couldn't believe the grip they had even on hardpack snow on the side streets. I deliberately tried to break the tire loose from a standing start and couldn't. braking was excellent too. I guess the grip will depend on the tire compound.
Cheers
