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.

Thank you for that very cogent reply. I only ask because i'd need to drive on them for the trip to and from the track.
