Page 2 has the summer dedicated BF, has a good look to keep the Gatorback tread look.

Re: Tires
You might consider the 225-55-16 size, which while is a bit narrower is the same overall diameter and has dozens of choices available.

Re: Tires
I would pick one of these two if it was the size I needed.

Re: Tires
I've always had good luck with the BF Goodrich tires on the street. I had the all season G Force Sport Comp on a dyno tuned 2013 Dodge Charger that had some work done to it and was dyno tuned and they always hooked except for during the occasional snow storm off the line. Even in the snow they had great traction though.

Re: Tires
I ended up going with Mickey Thompson Street Comps, in 275/35/18.

Was ready to race this guy, other things came up. So I've been using them exclusively for daily driving.
These things stiiiiiick, ya dig? No, but they're really great. By the time I'm out of my neighborhood, I'm stuck to the ground.
