No they won't. Both Ipikes/Altimaxes are not up to snuff on ice.
Ipikes, are a blatant copy of a tread design of Nokian Hakka RSI. The latter was discontinued years ago, replaced with Hakka R, which has been also discontinued and replaced by Hakka R2. Tread design gets them something in snow, but the ice grip is easier to steal.

I would disagree. Any additional grip on ice is welcome. About .1g current top winter studless tires generate (on acceleration) isn't enough, but it's still better than ~.05g of performance winters or altimaxes, and 0.02g of A/S tires.
