RS7 Winter Tires

I have just been given the opportunity to purchase an RS7. It has 21 inch wheels. The Tire size is 275/30r21. I found that Dunlap makes a SP Winter sport 3D tire that is sized at 275/35r21. That is 1.1 inches bigger in diameter. Does anyone know if this tire will fit in wheel wells without rubbing? Does anyone know of any other 21 inch high performance winter tires? I live in Alaska and we have snow 8 months a year. I put Blizzaks on my current A7 and they have done fine. Unfortunately they don't make a 21 inch tire that I can find. I'm just trying not to buy tires and wheels in a different size. Thanks.

I think 21" rims are too big for us with snow tires. The tread width is just too wide for snow. You want a narrow tire and hence you need to go with smaller dia rims - Look on the Audi website in Europe and you will see what they recommend for the wheel and tire size.

If minus sizing to 20" wheels, there are winter tires made in size 275/35R20 that should work.

We haven't gotten one of these vehicles in to test fit wheels so I have no wheel options available, but I do have winter snow tires in the above size.
