195/55/R16 Non-run flat???

I have 2 sets of rims, 04 Cooper Sport Pkg five star (R83?) and a set of 04 standard Cooper S rims (V-spoke?) and both sets are 16 inch rims. The five stars have the Goodyear NCT run flats and the S rims have the Dunlops SPs. My question is who makes a non run flat 195/55/R16 tire. I know Firestone carries one, but I cannot remember what "Firehawk" it is. I do realize many people have gone to 205/60/R16's due to a greater availabilty, but I would like to preserve the "factory" look without using run flats. Thanks to all for any replies. Long live the R50

to go tirerack and do a search, there are a few but choices are limited. plus i think majority of them are all-season tires. and they're kinda expensive

Firestone Firehawk GTA. I had them and didn't like them at all. Toyo T1R is the only other tire I found in the stock size and they were on back order when I bought the Firestones. I gave up and went to the 205 size.
