who makes 245/55/R15 tires?

I am looking at going to a wider tire for my 88 hatch and thought 245/55/R15 would be a good size but I can't find anyone that makes tires this size
what do you guys think?

I had a set of BFG 245/50 15's a while back. Being a 50 series, they were a little shorter than stock, but not too much (hey it helps the overall gear ratio by being shorter)
They had a small enough sidewall to handle prety well and were still fairly wide for beinn on a 7.5" rim. The 275/50's I have now are way too wide and baloon out too much, so it doesnt plant the full rubber that it should. So my next set will probably be somewhere around 245/50-255/50 or so.

Hope this helps,
