Drag Radial To Go With These Rims

Just looking for some recommendations for a nice drag radial that will fit these rims nicely.

Thanks in advance

I like my BFG T/A drag radials but mine are mounted on 15" steelies

Bfg's are no good in my book. Tried them, hated them.

I run hoosier quick time pro's and will never look back.

Your running more power than me so that may make the difference. I was pulling consistent 2.0 60fts with my bfg's. This year I may change to a full slick once I get the turbo setup up and running.

Ok The BFGs seem nice. This may seem like a rookie question but what's a good size to run with these rims? Obviously it's a 16 inch rim but what about the other specs?

I'm not sure if it was the power or not, they were a tire you could still drive places on. The were way harder than the quick time pro's

My BFG's are nice.

Notice, those rims in that link are only 6.5" wide. Not alot of traction there if you have high HP.

I'm not sure on the width of the steelies I have, they are just the normal 15" ones of another cavalier. I'm running a 225/50/15 and they seemed to work well at 14psi for me. But everyone is going to have a perference of what works for them but like I mentioned I was getting 2.0 60 fts consistently which I feel itsn't too shabby for a drag radial.
