I believe there were so many people in ny/nj area that had issues with the 20" ers that almost all the dealers in my area ordered the 2014's with the 19" wheels/ xdrive cars.
So glad they did.

Looks like it's official. The 20'' ///M Sport basic issue stock tires are not designed to handle the snow. I hope we don't continue to get the weather we have been dealing with for much longer...
I was being cheap because I didn't want to spend much money on after market parts for a leased car, but it would seem like the wise thing to do would be to get her some snow shoes.
