Yes, Nitto has the 420v option but they are LOUD, I mean like All terrain tires in a 33” loud. I wish you all luck in trying to source the 22” tires in a quality all season.

That's so odd because I was told two weeks ago my set is projected to be available for pickup in Delaware on September 29th which was pulled in from October 31st, their original projection.

For those interested, I see our local Discount Tire store based on their website can get 22 inch Conti Premium Contact 6 all-season set within 5 business days. Just thought I’d pass this along for anyone that’s looking. Good luck

Which tire and what size? I didn’t think Conti made an all season in the staggered 275/315 22” sizes.

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.

As of right now I'm going to get on a wait list with tire rack and if something else becomes available in the meantime I'll grab those. If all that falls through my wife just got a new Q7 with good all seasons on it, I'd most likely drive that on the days the road is sketchy. I'll make it out ok but would prefer a dedicated set of winter tires for my 22's. I refuse to give that look up I cannot go back to 20's.

This is a good alternative option. Buy two rears. I have a guy that sells 742 reps, this is do-able. I may go this route.

Just to clarify, and I might be wrong on this but the rear stock wheel size width might not fit on the front so I think you may have to buy 2 fronts to put on the rear to run square. But I could be wrong, I think the X5M fronts might be wider than the non M trims so maybe the rears would fit in the front. Not sure about the offsets, etc.

Yeah I said rears on accident.

Interesting, we have the Conti Premium Contact 6 on our 21 and they are summer only. Wonder if the CSI is a special version or something, can’t even find anything on the Conti website on them.

I’m pretty sure that these are Summer tires and not all seasons. I think CSI stands for Contisilent and that Discount Tire’s site is an error.

This is a notorious mistake on their site, I found that out a few months ago. They're actually summer tires that are classified as all seasons.

My backup plan if the all seasons don't come in which thus far TireRack has confirmed is on track for late this month is going with two front wheels and running a square 285 setup all around.

Yes I discovered that mistake on the side as well unfortunately, honestly it’s the three 315–30 -22 rare size that has us all messed up- I’ve had like five tire experts confirm that’s the case, that size by Perelli is only reserved for Bentley dealerships

[swalsh2333]

I have an idea....has anyone tried calling a Bentley dealership? I think all of the Pirelli Pzero A/S 275/3522 & 315/30/22 are made for the Bentayga. If a Bentley owner has any type of tire issue Bentley would need to have them in stock. They are probably a shit load of cash but they may have them. Just a thought.

I thought about that as well, I’ll call my local Bentley dealership today and let you know how the call goes, good thinking man

Update on my situation, got the wheels and tires delivered from Alloy Wheels Direct and love them! Well packaged, no scratches and unlike the tires my car came with, mounted with the outside side facing out! Haha, very happy with my purchase.
