Default 4-Snow Tires for Dirt Drags?

I am kind-of looking into getting a set of dirt drag tires. I have seen these and they seem pretty god for very little cash. Like $138 for 22X12-8's on .125's. The only concern I have is their expansion rate. Maxxis says that they grow 40% when dragging. That means a 22 inch tire become a 30.8 inch tire. Whould that cause them to hit anything, like my feet! I am using a 86-length swingarm and like it, I don't really want to go any longer for now. Does anyone have any experience with these?

Thanks
Nic

The 4-Snow is basically a copy of the original Ohtsu Pro Wedge II, which are regarded as being the best tire for dirt drags. Only the 4-Snows are about half the price. So that's why I was wondering if anyone has any experience with them. Thank You For Helping.

4-snows are great unless your pushin more than about 80 horses. Then stick with prowedges.

I read a review that stated they were actually faster than the prowedges. I use them for drags and they hook-up awesome. I run them backwards as this seems to be the best for everything other than hardpack. Great in the snow too! Only use 1-3LBs of pressure. I was worried they would get too big and hit my footguards but I don't believe they get that much bigger. Maybe an inch or 2 but that's about it. There is not a better drag tire in my opinion. I run them on a YFZ450
