2016 M3 Competition Package Winter Tires

Anyone have any thoughts on winter tires for F30/F80 ZCP's yet? It seems that options are extremely limited for 20 inch wheels, although we'll have to wait a couple more weeks before we'll know the full picture. I have a X1 with Blizzaks for when things get really bad but I still drive my M3's as my daily driver in the winter. I ran the Michelin PA4's on my e92 ZCP and loved them. I would really prefer not to have to buy a smaller diameter complete wheel set like I've done in the past and I know there were some 20 inch options last year.

Dumb question here, but why are you opposed to running a 19" set? The wheels and tires will be cheaper, selection better, and arguably the traction will be better too.

I understand there is an aesthetic element, but in the winter, having the best possible traction should still be a top priority. I don't think 19s will look bad at all.
