Thanks for all the good advice. I live in the DC area, and we really don't get enough snow to justify snow tires. But in a typical winter, we do have multiple days of snow and slush and ice, and those are the days I am concerned about. (My Subaru has been great in those conditions.)
I could probably just learn to live with the 17" wheels, and adapt to living without the AWD. But the idea of putting 16" wheels on the vehicle has some appeal.
But does that affect any systems that might be calibrated to the size of the wheels? I imagine it might affect the odometer -- but that's not a big deal -- but what about ABS, traction control, etc.?
