Question Pirelli stopped producing my OEM tires. I need help finding tires - Star Spoke 230's

It seems Pirelli have stopped producing the OEM P Zero run flats for my car. (225/35-19 fronts & 255/30-19 rears). It seems they have a new tire out but they don't have rears in 255/30-19. Should I grab some Extremecontact DW's for $600 off tirerack? I really would prefer some run flats with the hard side walls. I like handling dynamics of the runs flats more, personal preference. If anyone had any advice for me it would be awesome.

Michelin Super sports. Pump them up between 38-40psi front and 40-44psi rear. It's up to you. You can get them pretty stiff.
Plus they would last longer, be lighter and spend some money on real performance improvement like suspension upgrade.

I agree. I run my 19's at those pressures. No issues.
I'm running Continentals.
