Good question, it is technically legal.

To quote from the BFG literature:
"A word about DOT-legal competition tires - DOT-legal tires meet the minimum requirements established by the DOT for tires used on public roads. However, DOT approval doesn't necessaryily mean that a tire is well suited for frequent use on public roads, particularly in the case of competition tires. The BFG g-Force R1 is such a tire, and we recommend that it not be used on public roads"

This is the same with any DOT competition tire (i.e. Hoosier, Kuhmo, etc.). You will find folks how run them on the road, but they are typically driving very short distances to events. I have never run them on public roads... and realize they would be very dangerous in any standing water.
