mlts22 - Are you referring to a winch either mounted on the front bumper or if you have a flatbed truck possibly facing the rear. I don't think a winch will have much use in driving on icy or snow covered roads, could possibly come into use if you slip off the roadway into the ditch or whatever, then you'll need something stable to hook up to and pull yourself out. That's if a wrecker or tow truck isn't available. Best solution is to use regular tire chains or cable chains on outside rear wheels driving on icy or snow covered roads if traction is a problem. Actually probably the best idea is to stay off the road if at all possible until conditions improve to where you can drive safely and with confidence.
