Default drag radials

http://www.fbodymotorsports.com/inc/sdetail/989

Ok, I'm looking for good tires that can fit the stock Trans Am wheels (245/50-16 right?.) I need a lot of traction down low so that I don't have to worry about wheel spin too much, tires that work fine for a DD, and tires that are safe at 145-150ish. It's not common that I go that fast, but I'd sure like to every once in awhile.

So would those fit my bill all right? And is that a good price? And with these DRs how much wheel spin would I get if I went WOT from a standstill with a stock car? Also when it says priced per pair do they mean 2 or 4?

Thanks for all the help.

The nitto drag radial is a good street tire and some drag its decent in light rain but I would't recommend driving on in a rain storm!Most people I know have 2 extra rims so if they know there going to play they just slap them on!I'll be using a set a nitto drags for street tires they last me almost as long a real street tire! They hook good if ya put some heat in e'm on the street!I'm very traction limited with street tire my goodyear GSD'3s dosen't cut it!
