Just wondering if going to 18" or even 17" wheels would reduce the problem?

Mine are the 20" bi-colour and I don't have a problem with the all season tyres fitted.

Mine are 235/60 R18 and I got significant skipping with Geolanders but so far not getting skipping with Crossclimates but early days. Could be tyre design or material. I think Crossclimates are better than all season as better dry/wet grip IMO only.

Mine as fitted from manufacture are 255/45 R20 Vredestein Quatrac 5 and having had the car for only 5 weeks and 800 miles it's hard for me to review them except to say in the conditions we've had here so far which has ranged from warm..ish to snow, I've had no problems with them. I guess choice of all season / crossclimates in 20" size is probably still a bit limited although I haven't checked and as I do only 6/7K pa it will be a while before I need to change and by then things will have moved on a pace probably, or more likely I'll be lusting after a new motor again LOL.

It's also my first experience of this type of tyre on any car. When I had BMW rwd and my first Audi A6 fwd I had a separate set of winter tyres for those but didn't bother with my 2 Audi quatros as I found that the grip on standard tyres was always acceptable even with spirited driving.

Vredesteins are good I’ve found...
