275/40/22 winter tires
In the states I can’t see that pirelli sells a 315/35/22 winter tire. Will I be fine doing 275s all around even though the rims are staggered? The wheel/tire calculators seem to say so.

I would recommend going with 285/40/22 and 325/35/22 if you want to keep the stock 22' rims and want to keep the dimensions as close to stock as possible.

275/40/22 winter tires
Correct me if I'm wrong but I believe cornering would be the primary concern. Think about it: the tire is wider than the rim and you take a sharp corner - I can't imagine that's safe to do; Maybe even could damage the tire or at least make it wear prematurely or unevenly.
FWIW, I stick to a staggered setup even with my winter tires. 275/35/22 up front and 315/30/22 in back and I plow through the snow effortlessly. Quite pleased with my Pirelli Scorpion Winters. I know that narrower tires are technically better in snow but eh...I also know that baked chicken is technically better for me than deep fried |
