Fire because extreme cold would extinguish the fire. Fire and ice would be mutually super effective, which fits because they're opposites.
And water because extreme cold freezes water.
As other people have said, buffing ice offensively would also end up buffing water because water-types almost all get access to Ice Beam. But water already had STAB to hit fire-types supereffectively, and ice being strong against water is both a buff and a nerf for water types.
I would prefer to make it super effective against more things, but that would help water, which frankly doesn't need help.
Now I know what you're thinking:
>But now Ice is super effective against 6 types, and all 6 of those types are good ones!Correct. Ice would become the best offensive type in the game, bar none. But that's fine because ice is already the worst defensive type in the game, bar none.
