Will be interesting when I get my s90 back as to how it copes on snow with 20 inch summer tyres.

The answer is "it won't", and you only need to slide into a curb at 5mph to write off a wheel or the front suspension. Unless you genuinely need to get to work or healthcare or something it's not worth the hassle.

Fit winter or all-seasons if you want to play in the snow, but even then you're at the mercy of other drivers.

4WD will get you going on the flat, but you're then in a two-tonne brick with pretty much zero control.

With winter tyres the D5 is an awesome snow monster provided the snow isn't deeper than the front bumper. I had winters on 20 inch wheels on mine and it was like there was no snow at all.
