When you say "slick" what do you mean? Mickey Thompson has a 305/20 that might work in a drag radial. Nitto has something similar as well.

With either tire be careful. I've seen a little sand blow over the road over there and take cars out. As you probably experienced is as bad or worse than water. Less groves means less grip with any kind of medium on the road.
