Hey my 2010 accord ex came with 225/50R17 from the factory but is compatible with 215/60R16 since it comes on the base model.
What would be the major difference? because I drive in the snow here in Canada. Would the 17" drive better and brake better?
Just asking because its a few hundred dollar cheaper if I buy new 16"
Thanks

The only reason I would say the 17 is better is because it is 225 rather than 215. More contact patch = more grip.

more rim = less tire
better handling, but rougher ride
You can use online tire size calculators to compare tire sizes.
