Agreed. And the worst part about it, to me, is that it's pervasive. I've had this issue going all the way back to the 80's with a myriad of cars. Unless the car is AWD, or you have your wheels made 100% custom, you're probably never going to get what you really want with regards to tires.
I will say that many Michelin-snooty BMW owners are overlooking the Firehawk Indy, which comes in correct sizes, and is a damn fine performance tire, even with how inexpensive it is.
