Micky Thompson's are my slicks of choice. They run about 140-150$ a piece. 22-8.5-15 is a good size to run. I am not really sure who to order them from online, a local performance shop should be able to order these for you.

you dont need 15 inch slicks unless you are planning on running a 26 inch slick or bigger other than that just stick with the 13 inch

Sorta off your topic---sorry, but looks like you got your answer here.
I have a question.
I have 14" black steelies in the garage. Should i spend the money on new slicks for them, or should i spend the money and get 13's and slicks? I decided to stay with the 9.x" front brakes just cause i knew i was gonna run 13's some day.
Would there be a huge benefit to run the 13's over the 14's with only about 250 hp?

15" slicks will be fine if you already have a set of lightweight 15" wheels laying around. in my case, i have some mt 22x8x15 mounted on ssr type x's. if you dont already have rims and/or slicks, then i suggest some 13's like the lenso vpd's or some bogarts with 22x8.5x13 slicks

probably wouldn't be a huge benefit but i'd get the 13's anyway. then, the more power you come up with, the better off you'll be with the 13's.
