16.5 tires - I need - can't find

[STBR]

I need 16.5 tires that are great for traction on dry pavement. When I restored my 71' I built the engine up and it's much stronger that I expected. So, I been taking it to the strip a few times, but I need tires badly. Don't have the money to change to 16" wheels and tires. Just need to find 2, 16.5 tires about 31-32 inches tall that are for pavement, not mud and snow. I've looked on tirerack.com and really didn't see what fits my purpose. Thanks in advance for your help.
