I've been running 205/55-16s on my 9-5 Aero for about five months with
Nordfrosts on them. I've been pleased. The car rides a little smoother, which you'd expect compared to the 45-series Michelins. Obviously, cornering is not quite as sharp but it's still pretty good. Also, in pot-hole infested Massachusetts, I have some piece of mind knowing I'm not going to wreck a really expensive 17 inch rim. The 17s go back on in a week, by which time I hope most of the pot holes will be filled.
If I didn't care so much about sharp handling I wouldn't mind have 16s on permanently.
