D'addario makes a 50,70,85,105 set.

D'Addario makes several sets. XL (nickel rounds), XLS (stainless rounds, if they haven't been replaced by the newer Pro-Steels), the Half-Rounds, and Chromes (flats). Also, Ernie Ball uses the same gauges as D'Addario so their strings come in those sizes too.

i have EBs that are 55-110. i would not use them for standard....

i tune half step down, and that alone is REALLY tight...
