If they're the G60 sized DOT tires, I've used them. They work okay, but not great. Best 60 ft. was a 1.8x, but most were in the 2.0 range. Honestly, I think you can do better with a DR.
If memory serves, I aired them down to about 20 psi. They are bias ply tires, so they won't have the stability of a radial. It gets exciting at the big end of the track when the tail starts to wallow back and forth.
But for $50, you did well.

I have some hooisher dirt stockers about the same as the mcreary there not bad but i agree i think DR's work better but for the price you paid i wouldn't complain but i will worn you now they don't last very long and don't drive on them below 15psi but there a vast improvement over street tires

They are a good around town tire, I have some that I put on sometimes in the summer. They hook alot better than the bfg t/a tire(stock size) I usually use for street duty, heck they hook better than the zr1s I have now. Don't even try to go any long distance with them though, 30 minutes highway drive and the rear is swaying all over the place(*scary*).
