Don, that's a bit silly. It's a fair question to ask and to answer who cares is a bit rough.

The apparent answer in short from engineer and well versed cobra philes and manufacturers are the Tyres are not street legal dot approved and the ramifications as such should an injury or worse accident occur from a 3rd party perspective seems perilous at best. If such an event did occur.... you use, you lose.

Live pipes, tb's etc may not fall into legal ICVs but they in their own existence would be hard pressed to be proven as being the sole contributor to an accident for example whereas using a tyre that states on its sidewall "for racing purposes only" would seemingly make it far easier to afflict cause.

I'm more than open and happy to be shown otherwise. I'd love a set, but to buy and run them on a who cares rationale is nutso imo at best.

Sorry Don but with respect I disagree.
