Is it a good idea to put 225 tyres all round for winter ? And what is the thinking on 225 around for summer on a 3.0 ?
I have 3 sets of tyres and rims on 2 cars now so pondering.

If you ever think I'm off my rocker.. Just put me back in it and walk away... It's the kindest thing

I swapped my 18" staggered set for my "winters" last year, (Michelin crossclimate+ 17" 225 square) and they're great summer and winter, I'm thinking of selling the summers and just keep what I'm running now
