Nice ride. I've got the same color combo in the 40d model, but without the running boards

I'm not sure where you are located, but I can confirm that the 20inch 214s are doing great in the snow. It has snowed for about a week straight here in Switzerland, and I've had no issues on snow, slush, ice, etc. I was skeptical at first, given the obvious short comings of wide snow tires, but so far so good.

Anyhow, just a thought if you wish to sell your 18s in the future and just buy snow tires for the 214s.

Cheers,
