Michelin X-Ice for tires .... and just raise your car up to a little below stock, or use stock springs.

Stock suspension, and buy Michelin tires for all season, and then get some solid studded snow tires for when the weather gets crappy.

The ice usually isn't on the the road for very long, but if somebody is really concerned, you can jack your car up or use a lift and pressure wash/hose it clean..
