    Pro-wedge 1s (Ultra rare and hellaciously expensive. This is NOT, I repeat NOT the 501s) and then Pro-wedge 2s are the best. All the rest of the designs are either to thin in the ribs where they fold over, or are to hard of a compound that does nothing but spin on top. There is a reason that every 100+hp dirt drag banshee is running prowedge 2s, or Pro wedge 1s if they have the money and can find a pair.

    WOW! I just checked availability on these. They have at least 10 in stock here in the states. My cost ( I work for a dealer ) is $43.56 each

    Almost a shame I don't have anything to run them on

    Nothing really...I ran them on my 500 the first year. They are just a thinner, shorter "paddle" height then the PW2s, or the actual PW1s.

    I ran them on my 350x in the snow at brapps. Great tire! I could wheelie in the snow where as most other tires I've snow ridden in they just span.

    My 500 will be backtogether here by next weekend and then I'll probably start practicing my holeshot.

    I recomend them as a good tire at least to start with, I'll let you know what I think of them as a drag tire.
