That makes no sense whatsoever. Tire and wheel sizes below:

21" 285/40/21 on 21x9.5 ET31
22" 285/35/22 on 22x10 ET26

What that means is that the tires are the exact same width, the 22" tire is actually 3mm smaller in diameter than the 21", and the wheels are a paltry 1mm closer to the suspension. For all intents and purposes, the dimensions of these two wheel/tire combinations is identical. If you were told that they wouldn't fit on the steel suspension, you were lied to.

It makes plenty of sense in my case and as I explained earlier in my thread, the air susp was ordered to help cushion the ride for the 22" setup...

Sorry, I wasn't trying to say there's no reason to order them together. But the first post I quoted said it was impossible to order the 22s without air suspension because they wouldn't fit. And that's nonsense.

I’m surprised how reasonable 22” all season tires are. Guess there’s more vehicles out there in the suv market with that size. Looking on tire rack, several good options in the 275-300 per tire range.

Motorweek reviews are a bit too fawning for me. Trying too hard not to offend anybody, especially car makers. I prefer the British reviews which generally seem more honest. That said, I don't really disagree with any of it. RS3 is a nice ride, but not sure its 60-70k nice.
