IIRC, Honda worked with Goodyear to create the Invicta GLR for the Civic HF
models.  These were fairly widely available for many years afterward, and a
popular choice for conversion EVs even though they had some faults.  

I'd guess that if you can learn the correct internal order number, you
should be able to get any LRR tire made for any OEM, as long as it's still
in production.
