If the availability condition of the 22” all seasons doesn’t improve options will be limited:

Choose a winter tire in the staggered 275/315 sizes and swap back and forth or pick up a 2nd set of 22” wheels

Choose different sizes to run like 265/295 and live with smaller width

Downsize to 21” wheels and keep the 275/315 widths, there is availability of all seasons in the 21” size. Aesthetics are almost the same as the 22” wheels and you can find 21” replicas in the same designs as some of the OEM 22s so the visual impact would not be very noticeable if at all.

Downside to 20” wheels, much more availability in many sizes and brands for all seasons. Loose a lot of aesthetic though with the smaller wheel size.

Keep your 22 fronts and buy another set of fronts to put in the rear and run a square setup in all seasons, maybe 285s all around or 295s all around if they fit in the front.
