Aside from the ever-popular 26x11x16 ET Streets are there any REAL slicks still being offered in 16" trim?

I have a set of 26x10.5x16 ET Drags but have been told they don't make them any more, what is the stickiest 16" tire out there now?

I believe Hoosier makes a 16" slick.

Hoosier makes a 28x10x16" slick.

Its the ONLY 16" slick available. Fits great on a 10" rim and didn't require any fender modding on DJ99SS's car

For somebody that's already done the math: what is the effective gear reduction by going to a 28" tire?

26/28= .9286

.9286 * 4.10 = 3.81

The reduction isnt overwelming but in the case of a M6 it will be enough to significantly hurt the 60 ft times. Tall tires are a easy way to lower gears when running nitrous.
