Because I _hate_ the look of the 3 Spoke Klingon wheels. Each to his own....
It is not just tread width - the 16 inch wheels allow a higher aspect ratio tire which cushions the wheel better from all those rock hard ice ridges and lumps, and results in a slightly better ride. And reduces the risk of rim damage.
I am willing to give up the (slight) handling advantage of the 17 wheels in dry weather during the snow season.
