Default new tires under 120-130

what a good tire for around that price? i was looking at the rikens raptors. i have the stock 16inch rims. i was also looking into a drag tire or something along those lines. just did a cam swap and have zero traction with the bald tires i have anyway. any input is appreciated but i have heard some good things about the rikens.

when my brother had stock 16's he ran BFG G-force sports in 255/50 16 and they got great traction with bolt ons.
