I'm always torn between maintaining good looks and getting better traction on my winter set ups, but usually go down a size even with AWD vehicles.

I've heard this as well (RE: 19" winter tires), but aside from cost, traction is the same - as far as I've been told (as that ultimately is the only variable at play when it comes to winter driving). Tire tread that cuts into the snow and tire compound is the same whether you go 18' or 19", you're just limited in terms of tire selection and cost goes up quite a bit. Haven't driven w/ 19's myself, so open to feedback from others...
