Has anyone found all terrain tires for the 21" wheels?

I find them for 20" and 22", but cannot find them for my 21" rims. I have a 2020 Platinum that I do take offroad a bit, I don't need super aggressive, but most of the basic all season profiles don't have much grip on sketchy roads

The Std tires are 275/45/21, don't mind going a little taller, one size wider, but don't want to have to worry about rubbing

I've searched Tire Rack and Discount Tire and done a few searches, but nothing close to the stock 'size'

Thanks, I searched the forum for 'all terrain' and got nothing

I didn't think about going down on the width, but 265 is still reasonable, and not much smaller in diameter than the current one. Dealer put Blackhawks on there and, at 10,000 miles, they already are 4/5 - close to replacement. I usually only got 20,000 miles from tires on my Big vehicles

I had the Falken WildPeak 3 on my F150 and GC TrailHawk, but they were 18" rims

Wondering if these are much better than these Toyos, 275/50/21, the Toyo's show better stopping as they wear and have a pretty aggressive tread

I also REALLY like the look of the tread on these Michelins, but they're expensive and I've never gotten more the 16,000 out of any set of Michelins, but the treadwear warranty is really good

I guess I'm gonna have to decide if the sidewall protection is really necessary, since I'm not "off-roading" it, like I was gonna do with the Trailhawk

Again, thanks for the link

I'm in the same boat you are.

I believe I'm going to wait until it is time to replace the tires.

My plan is to go to 20 inch wheels and tires. I had Falken Wildpeak A/T tires on my 21 Outback and really liked them. I'll probably order them from Tire Rack. I looked on Discount Tire and Tire Rack for the rims. Tire Rack had the Enkei XM-6 in 20 inches. I didn't see them on Tire Rack. They do have the Falken tires in the Wildpeak and Aklimate styles. Both of them hav the 3 Mountain Peak rating.
