Put whaterver tires you want on your 17" wheels, but save your 16 inchers and put a good set of snow tires on them. Here in Western Michigan it's been snowing constantly for two weeks, and I'm very glad I made the investment. I have Bridgestone Winter Duelers and in the snow, they stop and turn much better than any all-season tire.
