There's a thread about this... Michelin Pilot Super Sports (about the best tire money can buy) are now available in these sizes, and they are non run flat. They're about $2000 for a set though, on Tire Rack. Aside from those, you can get Dunlop SP Sport Maxx (runflat) or Pirellis (unsure of model, but also a runflat).

I believe there's one other option, but its a snow/winter tire.

I have the Dunlops, can't wait for them to burn up so I can get the Michelin PSS. And if they're all too pricey, go back to the 20" wheel... 21" wheels/tires are not for the faint of heart...

Here is the thread. http://www.xbimmers.com/forums/showthread.php?t=1074617 The guy selling them on the Ebay site I mentioned said he had a number of sets and were selling pretty good. If you don't mind slightly "pre abused" tires then It's a good deal.

I've been texting the guy over past couple days... he has 4-5 sets. Selling 4 of them for $900 shipped - straight through paypal (no eBay).

They have 95% tread... I ordered 2 sets.
