Default SQ5 questions - wheels, tires & luxury package

Going today to visit 2 Audi dealers and they have both 2015 and 2016 MY SQ5 in stock.

Looking at the available wheel sizes, I see most are 21" optioned which concerns me as I need to have A/S for light snow use.

I prefer 20" as I have Conti DWS on my X5 (20" staggered) and works great going to ski resorts in Mammoth & Lake Tahoe...

So assuming I can get 20" put on, and since I hate the summer tires, can I ask for them swap them out to all seasons ??

Next, has anyone have the Luxury package ? Do the ventilated seats work well ? How is the support compared to the sport seats ?

I have the luxury package and feel the seats are comfortable and cool well enough. Never tried the sport seats so can't compare. IMO 21's as a much better look than the other wheels but I get your point on the AS. I swap out every year.

Thanks!
The luxury package is definite must for me as I am getting older and less tolerant of hard surfaces on my back and behind.

I am going to order 20" S line wheels because A/S tire choices are better....

You're a bit of a loon if you buy an SQ5 and hate summer tires. Everyone who sees snow should have a summer and winter set on this car.
