Here in Louisiana,running non-dot tires can get you a ticket from the police and have your car towed for a safety violation,also it is grounds to have your car rejected on it's yearly inspection.

As far as insurance compainies go, I have never seen an exclusion in a policy about the type of tires you use,but the fact that you are not in compliance with state regulations could make a good case to deny coverage for an accident should your company decide to pursue the matter!!!!!!!!!!!

Every auto insurance policy I have seen does have an exclusion for "participating in an organized racing event".This would cover drag racing, autocross, and road racing at tracks or organized events.....Street racing would actually be covered as they have no "stupidity clause", but you would probably be dropped soon after that....
