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.

you can run them, but a cop could pull you over for "insufficient tread depth" / bald tires and not listen to a word of your logic
you'll end up fighting it in court and winning, but it's all a big headache.
