will snow tires on 20" tires really work?
#2
It should work. I bought a set of Pirelli snow tires for my 20" wheels. I never put them on and returned them after finding out they need to be used in temps below 48.6 degrees or they will wear out prematurely and smell like burning rubber. The temps in January can swing from over 50 to under 20 so I decided instead to rent a car if it snows.

Bridgestone (Blizzak) offers "winter/snow" tires in 20". These tires are highly rated.
Depending on the exact size you want, these "winter/snow" tires are strictly designed for snow applications.
Complete some due diligence and I am sure you will find a compatible winter/snow that will work well on your Jaguar.
While I don't use a "winter/snow" tire on my 2009 Jaguar XKR, I use an all season performance tire that works well here in the southwest. We do get periodic snow conditions, but I would not choose to drive the XKR in any snow like conditions.

I've been happy with the Michelin X-ice tires I have on three vehicles for the winter, but I don't think they're available in a size for the XK (that's why I plan to go with the Blizzaks in 19").

IMHO you'd be better off purchasing cheap 18" wheels and good snow tires. The combined price will probably be about the same as 20" snows, because good ones are seriously expensive. That way you will also preserve your OEM wheels, and you can change them when it suits you, rather than the tire shop.
