People need to be careful about using tires that are meant for vintage racing. These tires may say that they are DOT, but they are not road legal. Vintage racing groups require DOT tires, i.e., they have to have tread and cannot be slicks, so race tires are built with minimum tread to comply with the sanctioning bodies. These tires do not handle well in the rain or standing water. In addition, they are not road legal and you could fail your inspection, or as stated above your insurance company could refuse to cover you in an accident as the tires were not road legal.

Being that you already drove on them, probably cannot return, but you might be able to find a vintage racer who is willing to purchase them.
