Hi,

The Blizzak's are good tires. Switching to 16's isn't a bad idea because the salt and such will attack your wheels, in the winter who cares? But, in Spring, you can just put on your good wheels.

Narrower is better because you want as many lbs./in.² as possible for traction, this is especially true up front where you want greater control in steering as well. The smaller the footprint, the greater the lbs./in.².

I might even consider adding some weight (like a small sand bag) to the front trunk as well to aid in better steering, but this all depends on your average weather and driving conditions. You could always try adding some front weight and removing it if it seems excessive for your driving. Hope this helps...

Happy Motoring!... Jim'99
