The coefficient of sliding friction for ice is very low: very few substances can interact with the crystal lattice to provide a grip. Friction depends on interaction between relatively irregular surfaces (or between molecules) and for ice, this interaction is minimal.
The rubber in tires should be able to grip the ice somewhat, but melting and refreezing can cause the tires to be coated in water or ice. So-called "black ice" (an invisible glaze) can completely cover a roadway and cause cars to slip, slide, and even go off the road. In snowy and icy conditions, tire chains are used that "bite" into the ice and provide traction.
