I think there are other non run flat tires that would fit, but Tire Rack & GM can't officially recommend them because they don't have a speed rating to match car's capability. Unfortunately, if they do suggest you run a Blizzak or similar tire in the same size, AND you are foolish enough to try going 170 MPH on those tires, they would be liable.
If I had to drive mine in the winter, I would try to buy two sets of front wagon wheels and mount the narrowest snow tire available on them. I would buy them from a source that doesn't care what kind of car they are going on and check out the ABS/TC in parking lots. I do track time events on "wrong diameter tires" and can't see any difference with ABS/AH/TC functions.
IMHO, no vehicle, including AWD, would get around in the snow with 295 Eagle F1's. It's the tires not the car.
