Thank you so much for this explanation.
So basically to do a safe square setup I would have to not just do 4 x 275 tires but will have to buy 2 extra front wheel rims to mount on the rear and then shop for 4 x 275 tires which are A/S RF.

Thanks so much for the great explanation.
You can run 275s on 9.5 front and 10.5 rear wheels, it's not ideal but it'll work - 275s will fit on the 10.5. You just won't be able to rotate the tires without remounting and balancing. You can find staggered all seasons for your vehicle - which would be my recommendation.

It's up to each owner to asses how much investment they want to put into managing their tires beyond OEM.
Staggered All Seasons - oh yes. Just that they are not RFs. Seriously if manufacturers start doing A/S RF in 315 setup that will be so cool.
Life will be so much simpler.

Main reason I didn't get 21" as well. Had them on my Q7, no RF available and precious few AS, with no spare. The logistics - and cost - wasn't worth it for something I had to squint at to tell the difference on the car, with negligible to no performance difference, a worse ride and higher chance of damage.
