I thought if a tire was DOT approved, thats it, street approved! Hmmm,,,maybe there not "legal" in Hawaii, I won't ask and they don't have to tell me.

I ran the Yokohamas Auto X tires on the street AND the track. Course they wear out REAL quick, and like Bob said they pick up stuff and "throw it". I was so paranoid of a "flat" I carried a can of "Spare Tire", a tire plug kit and a small 12 Volt air compressor.

But I was "addicted" to the traction!

Addtional info on Yoko's added:
they are good for about 10,000 street miles, one to two "seasons" if you race every month. There high priced, 180 or so. Faily deep "grooves" running at an angle. I was surprised how good they were on WET pavement. A very decent street tire and a GREAT track tire too! Several guys run them here, drive to the track and home on them.
