Any sort of camber is treacherous and the icier it gets, the worse it is.
I guess anything would be better than the half worn street tyres i had on my R65, but carry 10 or 15 metres of rope with you (thick, but thin enough for clearance between your tyres and swingarm/forks/mudgaurd) and wind it around the tyres and rims when you hit the cold stuff. It helps with traction.
Be careful in the evening when snowmelt refreezes as sheet ice on an otherwise clear road.
It's not much fun, but makes for some good stories.
