A number of companies make run flats. I currently have Firestone Firehawk run flats on my 99. The Khumos are the ECSTA MX XRP
Tire Rack has the fronts @ $137 and the rears at $226 each. They are a run flat tire. Do a search, there have been some mixed reviews

I bought a pair for the rear of my 01 to try them out. I wouldn't say that they are a bad tire at all, but next time, I'll put the Goodyear's back on
