Are always an issue. It's the look that all manufacturer's are going to, but the 16's wear twice as long, cost half as much and don't scratch easily.
And IMHO the secret to the handling of a 9-3SS is not the Aero suspension and tire upgrades, it's the aluminum construction and weight distribution and the ReAxe passive rear wheel steering. The 16's are only 10mm narrower, still a lot of tire on a small car.
Get an Arc or even a Linear with the 17's and at least you'll get the longer wearing all season Conti's, and same some dough. You get the same engine Arc or Aero and the 175hp Linear is snappier around town. Do you have Aero dreams and a Linear budget? If your planning on doing some modifications yourself consider starting with a Linear.
