I'm pretty sure a lot of teams use them. I know they are not the best as their sidewalls are most likely much less strong, but I seem to remember seeing Pat Richard's car with Guadex 720's on them, they were just cut a little more.

Might want to tractionize them first, for extra grip. If you guys come up to one of the ice racing days in Minden before the rally, you should be able to rent some tractionizer time - I think it's $10 per tire. Makes a huge difference.
