I did a search on Amazon for 225/35/17 tires and nothing came up.
That size is available in Europe, but the shipping is the same price as the tire.
As far as winter tires go, there is a good argument for narrower tires, to get through the slush/snow to the road surface.
165/60/15 on all four corners is my choice for a dedicated winter set, and I also have set up an 'all weather' set (with 3PMSF) 165/60/15 Front, 185/55/15 rear.
All tire fitters will recommend the same size Winter tire on all four corners; I'm leaning toward 'narrower is better'
.
With the manufacturer's discontinuing the 225/35/17 size there really is no need for a rim wider than 7", since 215s seem to be the only readily available width in our 23" diameter wheel size.
Being old school I still have a yearning for wide summer tires, and I do have a set of 225/35/17s stashed away for the time I can get a set of the Brabus wide rear arches for the 450 (the only way these would fit).
