16 inch tires
Oma,
Mickey Thompson markets several street oriented radials in 16" sizes.
Folks assume a M/T tire is only a drag tire but i am not sure that is really the case. BFG drag radial's work VERY well on a friends street driven 911 Turbo Porsche, and he has been actively vintage road racing for 30 years+.

Poke around as M/T has more than a few street/race tires.
Easy to say you should get another set of wheels, but 16" is still available in a performance radial...for another year or two...?
I would steer clear of "bias type" tires for the street...they follow every groove in the road...my old Hoosiers T/D's, a bias type, were not fun on the street as they follow every crack in the road.
Are the AVONS and the G/Y bilboards radial or bias? general question.
If most driving is on the street things to consider other than what the letters on the tires side wall say...
