While our 'car ego' often gets in the way, it may be cheaper in the long run to buy a set of downsized wheels and dedicated winter tires, and use them in CA 'winters' for your runs to the Mtns, vs buying a set of 20" winter tires.
There are often smaller wheel/wheel tire combos for sale on this site, eg 18s or 17s, or a set of plain vanilla wheels and winter tires, from the usual Internet tire sellers.
Even if you don't like the look of smaller winter wheels/winter tires, once you have a 'set', they are swappable in place of your 'summer' wheel set up, as in about 30 mins in the garage or driveway, or the same at the corner tire joint.
The common and somewhat misnamed 'all season' tires are really Spring/Summer/Fall tires, imo.
