20" all-season tires

[rh71]

First, I know the larger/wider the wheel, the worse it can be in snow. But my 19s have been fine so I'm wondering if 20s will be any worse. I need to be able to keep them on year-round including Northeastern winters. They will be:

Front: 275/40-20
Rear: 315/35-20

Some have said all-seasons, even in these sizes, will be fine in snow. Opinions?

Experiences with either of the Michelin Latitude Tour HP or Toyo Proxes S/T tires? These are my only 2 tire options. Any opinions for either of these is welcome.

I hope these are going on a Civic.

19/20s are quite common on SUVs...

But at least this issue was addressed in the 1st reply. Thanks.

All season tires = no season tires. Just do yourself a favor and get dedicated tires for summer/winter you will be much better off.

All Weather or go with Snow/Mud for winter

So you're saying all-weather is different than all-seasons? Dont' think I've seen those. Or do you mean all-weather as in all-terrain tires? I don't need max performance in the summer or extreme grip in the winter. I just need tires that will still allow me to drive around town when there's just 4 inches of snow on the ground.

Check tirerack.com reviews. If the Latitudes are anything like their Cross Terrains, you'll be very happy.

I do have the Latitude 19s and wouldn't hesitate to go with their 20s, but those Toyos look really aggressive so I'm just looking for more experiences with them.

Why not put summer-only tires on your 20s and snow tires on your 19s? You'll get much better performance year-round that with all-season tires.
