I live in Dallas not OKC, buy I can't imagine them getting drastically more ice than us. Our winters just aren't harsh enough to require winter tires. We do fine on all seasons and I'm pretty sure the vast majority up there do as well.
For the few times a year it does get bad enough to need them you just have to drive really carefully or call a cab or something.
Edit: I just saw you were from OKC so you obviously would know better than me. I still don't think it would get bad enough to need them most of the time, but I'll defer to you here.
