I don’t think any degree of grip tape or treads will help very much when it gets iced over. My guess would be heat mats but that sounds expensive.

Anyway, nice job being a good neighbor!

I wish I could convince them to try the tire tread. I know others that used these and they were a game changer. I looked up the heat mats. It's a maybe. My friend is also VERY frugal. Ggggrrrr

big bucket of ice melt/calcium chloride? Eats away the ice, makes the area safer to walk

I’m with this. Leave enough salt out to KILL the ice

Could you find a local nonprofit or charity organization to buy heat mats?
