Driver8 is on a distinguished road
I had Goodyear Eagle RSAs in a 295/40R20 F/R on staggered 4.6is-style wheels on my '02 4.4i. They performed equally adequately in bad weather and good. I found them to offer good ride/performance/wear/value and they looked nice too. I upsized from the EOM SP 19" wheels and tires, first with Bridgestones then with Michelins, which I found to be rougher riding than the 20s (I know, I know...go figure).

Bottom line - The best solution is to have two sets of gear: a set of dedicated snows for winter and a set of summer performance tires for everything else. If you don't choose to do that, you do have some options. Good luck!

PS - You can read more about my experience and that of others on the X5world front page under "wheels and tires."
