Xice Xi3 is not performance tire. You may not like how the car drives.
While narrower is better in deep snow and water (better hydroplanning resistance) it is worse in dry, and some claim worse on the ice.
If you drive in deep snow and have a chance of reaching the pavement go narrower. Or your main concern is aquaplanning.
Otherwise go OE size, IMHO.

PS. I would suggest that you stick with winter performance tires if you want to keep the handling.
