always drop by -1 or even -2 depending on the type of roads you'll be on. Considering you'll be in Maine, it's not unheard of to drop to 17's from the 19's. I can tell you that 19's in NY 3 years ago were horrible and my '01 X was a sled. My '04 had 18's and were narrower and the X was incredibly better in the snow/slush.

Blizzaks are a good tire to check out.
