Tire swap question

I'm thinking of buying some snow tires for my rims and making them my permanent winter rims, then buying some new 17 or 18" this summer.

My question: can I take my stock tires that have about 70% tread left (235/70/R16) and put them on my gf's Hyundai Santa Fe that currently has size 225/70/R16 tires? I realize they will be 10 mm wider but I assume this should be ok?

Additionally, has anyone had any experience with any of the following tires:

Michelin X-Ice xi2
Bridgestone Blizzak
General Altimax Arctic

Obviously the General's price point is attractive, but I am definitely considering all three. Thoughts?

Thanks in advance!!

Thank you both very much for the info! Good to know about the speedometer reading and that tire calculator is super handy. I just bought a used 07 escape less than a month ago and I love it, the all wheel drive is awesome and I'm looking forward to throwing some high performance snow tires on!

Oh, and this forum rocks.
