You like the handling of your Blizzaks? I'm happy for you.
On the flip side, we just put new Blizzaks on my wife's Civic and even she hates the squishy delay in steering response (& she's not a performance person). When I switch my 17" summer tires to 16" Gislaved snows, the ride gets notably smoother & less harsh. That may be your preferance; and your roads may be nastier than those I encounter here. But what I call "handling" goes right out the window. Turn in response is sloppy and cornering grip severely reduced.
Buy, hey, if what you want is something to soak up the bumps better then there's nothing wrong with going to a 15", taller profile tire with a lower speed rating for summer.
