Default What is the stickiest drag tire for 16" rims?

I'm looking for new drag tires that fit on stock 16" rims. I want the ultimate/best hooking tire currently available. Which one is the best? Thanks for all replies.

Hoosier QTP's (i think they make them in a 16"). If not, MT ET Drag Radial.

Do they make ET Drags for 16" rims? I couldn't find a listing for them.

Edit: I found 33-34" dia. ones. Too big for me.
What about M&H cheater slicks? 26x11.5x16

They only make the ET Streets and ET Street radials for 16" wheels. Either one would be more stick than you can use, but I'd go with the DR.

I had some hoosier 28 x 10 slicks on my 16.8 rims and they did bubble a little bit but I was able to get 1.6 sixty first and only time out on them haha. Broke tranny during the run.
