Depends on the tire. Several people on here have 20's as a summer set up with summer perfromance tires e.g. mich diamaris. You would be very lucky to get even 30K out of summer performance tires unless you are driving like an old lady.
I don't have 20's so I don't know what options are out there as far as higher tread wear rated tires - have a look on tirerack.com and they show options/tire rating for 20' set-up.
Personally, and if the roads in NJ are anything like the roads in Boston after the winter, I wouldn't go any bigger than 19's on a daily driver.
Good luck
