Moving to Chicago from L.A.

My son will be taking his 2003 9-3 (Launch and suspension packages) from LAX to Chicago this summer and will be there during both warm and cold seasons until he finishes two more years of undergrad college.
He currently has 17" rims with the summer high performance Pirelli Rosso tires that came with the package. Although Evanston and Chicago streets are plowed regularly, I am concerned about ice and other safety issues.
Would someone chime in and let me give some wheel / tire recommendations for safetly living in the Chicago area. Do I need to downsize to 16 in wheels, or just a different tire in the same size? I was thinking about the Nokian WR, but open to anything that makes sense. Thanks in advance for your input. Also, is there a trustworthy dealer or independent for general service in the Northshore area?
