Default 255 Drag Radials or 295 Regular Tires? Need Suggestions.

I have 16 inch wheels on my car. I do not want to buy new wheels. I need more traction! I am currently running 245/50/16 BFGs.

Looking at new tires - I have narrowed it to 2 options (couldn't find many options for the 16 inch wheel) - BFG makes a 255 series drag radial and a 295 Radial T/A.

Which do you think would work out better?


Any other suggestions on other tires I have not considered that would help my traction?

255 DR, i don't think the 295 would fit without widening the wheel

The ET Streets would definately help you in the traction department.
