I have run 225/45 17 (Blizzaks) all of last season. Live in Colorado mountains, drive lots of miles over passes in winter and horrendous conditions and have yet to be turned back. Interestingly, Bridgestone's website shows exact same tread width for 215/55 16 as 225/45/17 in their MZ-01. All that said, narrower rim width the better as it won't stretch the width of the tread out and make it wider than it has to be. I'm on Saab OEM 17" rims that are 7" wide. Saab OEM 16" rims are 6.5 I believe. Be careful though, I'm not sure all Saab 16" rims fit on an Aero????? Also, not crazy about the Blizzaks for wear - they go fast. Dunlop winter sport M2 looks like a good tire and it's H rated. I think any new generation honest to goodness snow tire will do wonders for your winter driving. I can't get out of my driveway with all seasons on, but can go anywhere with snows.
