I would stay with the same over all height of the stock tires. also narrow tires cut through the snow better. wide tires tend to "float" on top of the snow. so i would say stay stock in size

A very general and subjective question for brand. You'll just get more confused.
Stick with the stock size of 235/45/17.
Check out www.tirerack.com for specials, or pick up a Road & Track magazine, which is full of winter tire specials and ads.

I use Accord LX 16" rims and 215/55-16's with my automatic TL. The rims are very high quality, much more so than any of the "universal fit" steel rims the local tire dealers sell, and they are a very good deal, I ordered mine from my local Honda dealer for $27 each! They are a hub centric wheel and fit perfectly on the TL.

Call your local dealer and ask for the 16" steel rims for a 2003 Accord lx v-6 with the auto trans. You can see the part here

The rims work extremely well, i wound up not going with the nokians due to availability. I went with a studded directional tire from tire rack and have 3 winters on the so far on the 16" accord steel rims and have had stellar performance and handling in very deep snow and icy conditions. I use the TL for my ski car in the winter. With that tire and wheel setup and the traction/skid control the car is unstoppable.
