Even if 20 snows did work as well as 18's/19's snows, 2 reasons I would not use them.

- PITA to have to swap out tires each year. You have to go to a shop twice a year to get it done ands run the risk of them screwing up the balance and/or nicking your wheels each time. You could change out a set of winter wheels yourself in your garage or at a local tar joint in little or no time.
- 20's + NY roads/potholes in the winter do not go very well.
