Does PTV+ improve handling on snow and ice?

In my country we have several months in a year snow, ice and slush. I'm thinking if PTV+ would improve handling in winter conditions. Of course nobody has experience in driving Macan EV in winter conditions (except Porsche test drivers, btw their testing center is in Finnish Lapland), but how does PTV+ impact winter driving in other models? I'm looking for better grip and handling in high speeds and sliding :)

I have it optioned on all 3 of our cars that are not Macan EVs to be clear.
PTV+ by design is to enhance cornering and turning stability, so we have it for endless round abouts in our city. However, I cannot say that it helps in winter conditions with my understanding that tires and other systems (stability control) are more of a factor in detecting wheel slip and adjusting traction and power distribution to different wheels. Curiously, ICE Macan PTV+ description has the word traction in it but EV Macan description of PTV+ does not.
