Any body else make a run flat that will fit the C6 besides Goodyear.

I understand Firestone is releasing their new Wide Oval (basically a rebadged Bridgestone RE-750) as a run-flat sometime early in 07. If they are as good as the version I bought for my 03 Z06 we'll have a great tire for many hundreds less than the GY's assuming ANY GY tire is available.
