Chicago Civic, when are you putting on your snow tires?

so it is almost that time of year. I have enjoyed my lowered civic on Skunk2 Pro S-II Full Threaded Body Coilovers. I now have to decide when to put on my winter wheels and tires. I have Yokohama AVS ES100 summer tires on now.

I want opinions / advice about wither just bringing the coilovers up to stock height, or changing out the coilovers for my old stock suspension for the winter?

what do you guys think?

here is my car on my snow tires and stock suspension, before the coilovers

unless your worried about keeping the coils away from snow and salt and keeping them in amazing shape i would just use them and raise the car

not really worried about appearance, just function. i'll just raise them up.

Shouldn't be bad. We have hardly any snow in Colorado. I would think you'd be fine. What tires do you run during the winter?
