I hope you don't plan to just get drag radials. Theyre not safe for normal highway, city driving--unless you drive real slow.
anyway, I think BFGoodrich makes a decent drag radial, there's a nitto one too. I don't know too much about them though.

The bfg's are your best bet. They are better than the nitto 555rs. For daily driving they dont last that long maybe 10k miles.

Also i am pretty sure that bfg doesnt make any for 16", so get the nitto's. I had to look for some drag radials a while back for my 16's.

I think they did for a little bit, but then stopped.
