you could get some 28x10.5 MT Sportsman PRO's They are the wrinkle wall tires with tread. I had them on my truck, they are street legal, and they will HOOK! make sure you get the pro's though, because the normal sportsman's are way too hard to hook well I am not 100% sure if they have them for 16's, but if they do, then that is what I would get

I was looking into the Sportsman Pro's myself...I've heard horror stories about mixing ET Streets on the back with radials on the front. There are two 16" sizes available, 26X9.50-16 and a 27X11.50-16. I'm guessing that the 26X9.50 would work better on the factory wheel?

Sorry if this is dumb but do ET Streets have tubes in them or do you just put them on and air them up?

You are supposed to use tubes with those tires, but you don't HAVE to. I would strongly reccomend it though.

Also the 9.5" would definately fit better on the stock rim than the 11.5"
