I too have Pirelli Scorpion Zero tyres and the lateral grip of those tyres on ice and snow is disastrous.
The ABS system of the FL2 is designed that for speeds below 3 kph to LOCK the wheels in order that on gravel or sand to help stopping by building up stuff in front of the tire.
Unfortunatelly, on ice, locking the wheels on a slight curve, even on speeds that low, will mean a "beautiful" lateral slippage which could take you 180 degrees in the wrong direction.
The only contact between our 2 ton car and the road is through tires.
Correct tyres could make the difference between life and death in limit situations, as the laws of physics couldn't be broken, not even bent  , no matter how many safety or traction systems there are or how many wheels are powered.
So get proper tyres for the situation at hand people!
