Best Drag Tire for RS' wheels

Hey guys I have spare RS wheels that are off my 92' Camaro RS and i'm looking for the best drag slick i can slap on the wheel. I currently run 13.8s around 99-100 but im spinning with my street 245's pretty bad. I've researched that these 15" wheels can handle 235/50 x26" tires. This setup is going to be for the drag strip only because I have 16" AMR Iroc Replicas for daily driving. So whats the best bang for my buck?

Don't you need studs or something to get the tire to fit on that wheel? Or will the sidewall cave in a little bit?

Re: Best Drag Tire for RS' wheels

Are you going to change the tires at the track or drive with them on?

I like my Hoosier QTP's. I drive them on the street and get 1.6XX 60ft times.
