I got a set of 15X6 rims and I'm looking for a set of cheater slicks or drag radial for them.

I saw M & H tires 215/65 15 and kind of want one size smaller

Those work perfect on a VW.

I just picked up some BF Goodrich g-Force T/A Drag Radials in 205/50/15. They are about 23-23.5" in diameter and mine are mounted on 5.5" Sprintstars (noticeably smaller than the usual 25-26" wheels):

You could probably go with the 225/50/15 with your 6" rims...at least according to the above chart...

I'm thinking M & H tires are the only ones with tires closest to the size I want. The 215/65 are 26 in diameter. I didn't want to mess with my gearing.

Yeah, you definitely need to keep gearing in mind.

I switched to a 23.5" wheel because my 1.04 fourth gear combined with my previous 25" wheels was ruining my 1/4-mile racing...I would die in the home stretch...
