Hoosier is making it plain that they're not intended to actually be used on the road (you've seen the tread patterns?)
I think there are better options from Hoosier for road use - currently I'm contemplating the TD series

(or Avon)
good luck with your selection

The first 2 or 3 years I Vintage Road Raced, I ran the Hoosier Street TDs....they were good and I liked them, the only reason I switched to the R6 radials was for better tire wear/life.....My lap times were a tad better with the R6 tires,but not enough to talk about, the R6 tires did last longer though.....
On the street you will not like Street TDs, they "hunt" and will follow every little crack in the road, you'll find yourself switching lanes and without ever turning the steering wheel, I would advise not to run them on the street......
Been there,done that........
