I have run them for 30+ years. Main reason is that this is the only tire that will fit my car, 55 chev, 9" not tubbed ladder bar 3200 lbs. No one else makes that size tire. But, after running them and getting 200 plus 1/4 mile passes before the holes start to disappear, I am sticking with them. PSCA used to have an 8.5 class that would 1/8 mile at sub 4 seconds on that tire. They would put 6 passes on their tires and take them off. I would buy them for 25 cents on the dollar and get another 200 passes on them. I definitely like that tire.

Whats really funny about that 8.5 class and those cars having so much power, and the goto cars were fox bodies and chevy IIs, 90 percent of the time they would blow the tires off at the hit and it would be a pedal fest to the stripe. All anyone had to do was be able to hook and most low to mid 6 second cars had a good chance. My car will hook in a snow storm, so I entered a few of them, but I cant do a pro lite for crap, so I bowed out after a while.
