Default Tire sizes

Hi,
While I am sorting out the handbrake, I am also looking for new tires. But with 16 inch rims that requires a little looking. I have come up with this so far:
front: Hoosier P245/45ZR16, back: Hoosier P275/45ZR16
or mixing it up, front: Riken 245/50ZR16, back: Cooper 295/50R16.
I am presently running Goodyear Eagles GSC 245/50ZR16 in front and Goodrich Comp T/A 275/50R16 in the back, and they have been great, but are getting old.
The Hoosiers would have less height. The Rikens would be the same size and the Coopers slightly larger, as far as I can tell.
I found some Goodyears on web sites, but when I called Goodyear they told me they do not make tires any more in that size range for 16 inch rims. Goodrich told me the same, as did Hankook.
Any opinions on the tires and sizes I found?
What is the size range that will work and fit, given the 16 inch rims?
Thanks.
