some people do run drag tires on the street, and even run track events with them. However, while the Hoosier's do have a nice vintage looking tread, most people think the sidewalls, fine for a drag tire, and just too soft and flexible for proper steering feel and control on the street and on the track.

Plus, they may heat up too much for sustained high speed running.

Just an opinion i have heard from others.

all the best...
