Hi,

I am considering an R Design Pro, that comes with 275/35R22 wheels on air suspension.

I tested it and like the ride, however I like to use winter, or at least 'all season' tyres in the winter as I find the handling so much better in the wet, even if deep snow is rare in the UK these days. I am struggling to find suitable tyres on 22" rims, and would like to avoid expense of a second set of wheels (although I appreciate would be better for winter driving with a higher profile..).

Has anyone found suitable tyres, or is aware of future ones as rims get increasingly large?

Thoughts welcomed!
Thanks, John
