Tire Discussion - 16" Snow Vs 17" Summer Tires

I own a 2004 Aero. It came with 17" wheels and high performance tires. While I love this car, I do not like feeling every single pebble that I runover (exageration - the suspension is stiff and the 17" wheels don't help with smoothing the ride). I just bought a 16"snow tire package and I really like the smooth, more shock absorbing ride that the 16" wheels and larger tire wall delivers. So my question is this: If I want to keep the 16" wheels during the summer, is it typical to buy 16" non-snow tires and simply swap the 16" tires during summer and winter? Or, what is the downside to simply driving on the 16" snow tires year round? Is there a market for me to sell the 17" wheels and high performance tires?
