I agree with you. I'm in New York City and it's the reason I stuck with the 19" wheels which include the all-season tires. If I went to the 20" wheels those tires would need to be replaced in 20K miles due to the soft rubber and accelerated wear. Not to mention they are death traps in the snow. BMW should really offer options for regional markets. It may make more sense to offer all-season tires in New York and performance tires in California.
I will eventually get 20"+ wheels of my choosing (not limited to the 3 styles offered by BMW) and wrap them with tires appropriate for the conditions in New York.
