X6 20" in snow

So the winter is coming... Last winter i drove my X6 with 20" sport tire and have a littel difficulty when parkying.

So i m wondering how the x6 handles in snow , ice with 20" winter tires, or to buy the 255/55 R19 ??

I quess on 20" the winter tires are 275/40 front 315/35 rear like in the summer right ?
