Default whats the best dry traction street tire to use?

Besides the falken azenis, whats a real good street tire to drag with? The reason I'm asking is that the azenis don't come in the size I want. I'm rolling on a 16x6.5 rim, so I'm thinking either 215/50/16 or even 225/50/16. Those sizes can fit the 6.5 rim but I tihkn they'll look a tad fat, aspect ratio wise. How well would a 45 aspect ratio work with a 6.5" rim?
The only tire I can find with the size I want is the bf goodridge kdw, but are there any other ones I should look at?

edit: not looking to get drag radials either, so pls don't say bf goodridge dr's, nitto 555 dr' or any dr's for that matter
