I ask because both of these sizes have full WINTER tires available while the factory 315/35/21 rears are only presently available in an ALL SEASON tire.

Feedback is greatly appreciated.
Check out this site for comparisons. You need the diameter to be as close as possible to OEM, and the tire must also be compatible with the rim width.

As to how much of a difference in diameter is tolerable, I cannot answer that. My CA at my dealer told me for xDrive that it was more important to match diameter on each axle (L&R) vs. front and back. However, I am not sure that is true, but it does make some sense.
