I know a guy using them on his 01 Formula..He pulls on average 1.80 60ft..His best I think is a 1.74..Not to bad..I had them on my 94 T/A & got a 1.77 60ft...They should be fine..I am thinking of a set for myself, They are $60.00 cheaper a piece than the ET Streets

If you will settle for 1.65-1.75's I would just get drag radials then.

imho, sportman pros are better than drag radials (not counting the m/t ones because I have a feeling they'll eclipse everything else). My buddy runs a set of 26 x 9's on his 95 formula that pulls 1.70 60 foots and runs mid 12s and he gets about 200 runs and about 8,000-10,000 miles of daily driving from a set. I've used them on my Firebird and they work great, even driving in the rain they are much easier to ride on. The only difference is the somewhat flexible sidewall compared to a true radial, but they hook beyond most radials I've seen. Just my $.02
