Yikes! That doesn't sound fun at all...
The only caution I would have for Run flat tires is in the Disclaimer all over Tire Rack's website (tirerack.com):
NOTE: Run-flat tires are only recommended for vehicles that are originally equipped with self-supporting run-flat tires and equipped with a tire pressure monitoring system."
Likely having to do w/ traction given the weight etc of the car. That being said, they are available in the sizes, just not sure how they'd handle all the weight given the heavy battery etc. Sizing isn't an issue, and they definately are compatibile, but apparently not recommended

Not sure this is of much help but was all I was ever able to find. Recently got replacement tires here too. Went for Mich MX4's here.

Did you ever try this? I was curious as well, but they are generally heavier, reducing gas mileage. And as rinthos mentions, they aren't recommended for after market installs. I think because the rims should be designed for the run flat tire.
