Default Tyre Replacement

Looking to replace my Falken's with a set of tyres that have the raised letters.

Current sizes are:

225/50x16 Front & 245/45x16 Rear

There seems to be little choice in Aus for raised lettered street tyres.

So far, the only options I've found are:

BF Goodrichs and Goodyear Eagles GT+4.

However, my problem is that if I want to replace the sizes that are currently on the car both of the above don't fit

Firstly, does anyone know of suitable replacements available in Aus - possibly may be able to play around with the profiles?

If the above is a dead duck then has anyone imported such tryes for street use?

Just spoke to goodyear and they say that tyres can be imported, but again will be dependant upon sizes. Oh and they said if I do go with goodyear they will send a free tyre gauge - now that's a nice offer (spend $1,200 and get a tyre gauge - bargain)


Seems our friends across the pond have a much better selection (A set of NASCAR Goodyears would look very nice!)

Any suggestions????
