Recommended Tires for Strip

Hello to all;
Need some advice. I can't seem to find a street DOT drag radial that has the same tire size as stock. So if you can't find a street drag radial to fit what is a good street tire (make, model) to run at the drag strip? I want to keep the original tire size of 225/60x16. I need something with good bite since traction is my biggest problem now. One tire shop recommended buying snow tires since they have soft rubber compounds and shaving them down. Any advice?

i dont beleive that there is a DR out there in that size, you will most likely have to change your tire size, and get a different VSS, which are like $10.
 
You Can Run 255/50r16's, Which Are Only About An Eighth In Shorter Than Stock, And Offers Alot Wider Contact Patch. Bfg Drag Radials Are What I Am Running, W/ No Difference In Rpm, Mileage, Or Speedo.
