Well, I use 16x7.5 all around during the winter months, and I can tell you from experience that both handling and traction are worse on the narrower tires. However, I have to admit the 16" tires are probably lower quality than my 17" tires and are being replaced with Blizzaks for the snow. Swapping wheels and tires twice a year probably isn't too common, though, but it works for me.
