The least safe tires I ever put on my car were mickey thompson sportsman pro tires. They are drag slicks, pure and simple, but they have a couple of grooves in them that are the minimum depth to meet DOT regulations. They also required innertubes. They were just a bias ply with a soft wrinklewall, they couldn't corner at speeds faster than parking lot speeds, if the pavement was shiny, look out cause you'd be all over the place. They also only lasted for 8 weeks of around town driving on a limited milage basis. All that and DOT approval.
