Are Wintersport M3s in 195/55/16 discontinued?

So I had a little mis-hap late last winter that involved me taking an unconventional line through an intersection while trying to avoid a pair of stopped cars that resulted in me tearing the sidewall on one of my tires when it came into contact with a snow-camouflaged chunk of curb left in the middle of said intersection by Johnny-nobrains-plowman. I tried to source out a replacement tire at the time, but was told that that size was not currently available and to check back next season.

Guess what... It's next season, and I still see no Wintersport M3s in 195/55/16. Is it time to give up and scrap 3 perfectly good snow tires (because I'm SURE no one will buy just 3 tires...) or does anyone here know if they are still available somewhere? We've been starting to get some cold mornings around here, and my summers are getting a bit too slippy for my liking...

The M3 has been replaced by the 3D in your size. It is however runflat.
