Kitty Litter works better.I carried some floor dry with me in the winter and used it a few times when I drove over the road.Ive heard of the bleach but didnt try it.A long time ago I remember doing burnouts with bleach before drag racing.It gets your tires sticky and shortens their life.It definitely worked on bias ply tires.I dont know about radials.
I know you are better off on ice if your tires are cold to get started.If you spin the tires and get them hot on ice then stop, the ice melts a little and you cant move at all.Water on ice is slick as snot on a door knob and you cant move on that usually.Now if you can burn through a thin layer of ice you might get going.I kind of remember that to get the tires sticky with bleach,you had to heat them up with a burnout.
So unless bleach works on ice when the tires are cold I dont know.I do know floor dry works.
Another trick is to drive around on the ice after coming off of the highway ,into a truck stop,and cool off the tires.Then back into a parking place,and back up and pull forward a few times so you mash the snow or whatever is there down.The next morning you might be able to move.If you back in with hot tires and stop, they will melt in a little and you will be stuck in the morning.Then if its bad enough you wont be able to break loose.
