Default New tires

Well here the deal, I was gonna do a new rim tire combo in a few months but the dealer is giving me 4 brand new chrome Z28 rims. With that said I am gonna keep them for a while but wanna change my back tires. Whats a nice and sticky tire with say a 255 with for a 16" rim? And please dont bother with sayin slicks or bigger rims, I am not gonna bother with rims right now and I dont want slicks on the street. BTW I have an A4 with a 3200 stall

Hey bro, what's up? Why not go with the BFG Drag radials like the other guy said. There a great tire, but they wear out fast.
