When I bought my roadster it came with some very nice 3-piece 16" Compmotive Halibrand rims. I have 245\50R16 fronts and 275\50R16 rears. All 4 are BF Goodrich Comp TA's. I can find the 245\50R16's in various brands but nothing for the 275\50R16's. Any suggestions or thoughts?

Nate,
I was able to find 275/45-16's at Tire Rack.
I know it is shorter than you want, but could these work?

Steve,
Thanks for looking. I did see those but Toyo doesn't have a matching set of 245's for the front. I should have clarified that as well. And yes. I would be willing to go with the 45 side wall. I can always change the speedo gear to suit if needed.

I went ahead and ordered the Toyo Proxis TQ 275/45/R16's for the rear and the Toyo Proxis R888R 245/ZR45/R16 94W's for the front. Should be good for the road (minus rain) and the track. I can also get Hoosier autocross radials if I was going to do that from Jegs. Those come in the 50 side walls for both sizes for anyone in this situation.
