Looking to put on new tires on my 20s.
Will all season on 20s hold up in the winter?
Or should i just get summer tires n get winter tires??

Honestly though you should get beater rims 18s or so and throw the winters on it.

+1 get some 18's and throw winters on them, unless you have an Xi, then you'll be okay with A/S, but still, don't use 20s - the rims will be DONE in one winter season.
