Great setup. 17" for the winter can't be beat. I'm running the same size with Conti ExtremeWinterContact on style 57. Added benefit that this nice lightweight setup is noticeably quicker off the line than my staggered 19" summer wheels! Unless brake rotors can't take a 17" inch wheel, I absolutely don't understand plus sizing for winter.
