Run-flat tires in OEM Grand Sport sizes are manufactured by Michelin and Bridgestone only. They will be extremely expensive. There are very few manufacturers of the rear OEM tire size.
Many have purchased non-run-flats manufactured by Continental, and have been happy with their performance & smooth ride. They are significantly less expensive than the run-flat alternatives.

If you're looking for run flat tires, I just had Michelin Pilot Sport AS4's put on and I'm happy with them. Cost $1700 though

I have those for my cold weather setup. They are excellent tires; and probably all most people need. However, I push my car pretty hard on the street sometimes; and they are no match for my summer Super Sports. With the AS4's you can definitely feel the car wanting to understeer in the turns, and they will loose rear wheel traction pretty easily with my Z06.

The tire sizes you have on your car appear to be correct, although a combination of two different manufacturers. As a replacement tire, look at the Michelin PS4 or the Contenental Extreme Contacts.
