Default 2011 XC60 20" Rims & Tires

I own the T6 AWD Model and I'm at the point of replacing my tires. I was wondering if anyone here have switched their OEM 18" to 20" rims and tires? I've read a few reviews on the "R" model and noticed comments on the harsh ride and attributed theses comments to the combination of the sport suspension and the 20" setup; but on the T6 with the 20" setup I am anticipating an improved handling without the harsh ride.

I have a XC60R and while the ride is a little more controlled with the 20" wheels the biggest problem I am having is inside rear tire wear. The dealer says it is a known issue with the 20" rim/tire combination and the suspension/alignment set up. No camber adjustment to offset this. Tires have cupped at 16K miles and are loud! (and yes they have been rotated) They look cool but unless you have a cheap source for tires I would not do it.
