Lightbulb E70 Wheel Style 239

Looking for some suggestions, I really like the style 239 wheels however , one major problem. From what I have found, Dunlop seems to be the only manufacturer making tires for these wheels (10x21 front and 11.5x21 rear) and they only make one tire, the Dunlop SP Sport Maxx RunOnFlat. This wouldn’t be such a big deal if the tires were not $550 front/$578 rear, just as expensive as the wheels. I imagine these tires will only last about 12 months, if that. So that means in another year shell out another 2, 500 on TIRES. That’s nuts! I also prefer a non runflat tire so the ride is not so rough and noisey. Any ideas on other good tire manufacturers that I can try that will possibly make a tire for these wheels? Tire Size recommended for 239 wheels 285/35R21 front 325/30R21. I believe wheel styles 128 and 215 are the same size as the 239’s, for those that have upgraded to any of these styles any suggestions?
