Default DRAG PACK / Radials

Just looking into my set-up for tires this season. Looking for any help about the set-up of MT Drag Radials on the rear[16in x ?] with the skinnies on the front.. Also what size rear tires recommended.. If any one uses this set up I would like to get some feed back Please
Thanks so much and I can't wait to get back at the track
Take care Dan
PS.. I should have done a search first ... Could not BELIEVE all the great posts about the same topic

There are some other variables/answers that need to be addressed first.
What kind of power?
What transmission (automatic or manual) do you have?
What rear axle gearing are you running?
Driving to the track or trailering only?

Ok, just checked your profile so I have a better idea.
Being an automatic bolt on car with a converter and gears I would recommend Mickey Thompson (or BF Goodrich) drag radials in size 255-50-16 on a set of 16" rims, any width between 8" and 10" will work.
