Default American racer slicks

Has anyone used American Racer drag slicks? Just wondering if they are any good, coz they are under $200 a tyre and I am thinking about giving them a try.

I used to use them with a clevo running low 12's in an xe, then i put a crane f246 cam in and a 5500rpm TCE converter and they were absolutley hopeless, i eased it to the 60 foot mark and punched it and i still fryed them, so i would say they are ok to prob low 12's but under that go a mickey thompson.
