To be a non-studded tire, the Nokian Hakkapeliitta R3 works very well on ice. It brakes well but the best are the excellent driving characteristics. It steers safely and precisely and retains some grip, even after you have started to skid on the road. The tire is, perhaps less surprisingly, just as good on snow with always equally calm and safe properties. On wet and dry asphalt, Nokian Hakkapeliitta R3 is better than average, which is an achievement because the ice and bare ground properties are always opposite. The tire steers slightly slowly, but is safe with good grip at the back during a quick evasive maneuver.
