We do certainly carry BFG as well. They produce their T/A Drag Radial TT in the 255/50-16 size. Here's a link...
Do you plan on running these on your DD? If so, I would suggest running the Nitto 555R. Nitto does run a little narrow in size but as a streetable tire, it's one of the better options.

No, these would be something I would only run once and a while for the drags and crusing around town. I've got some decent tires for my Daily Driving.

Yes. That is what I have and the work great, even when you don't heat them up that much.
