They are road racing tires. Yep I read the disclaimer from Hoosier. But after talking to a number of people that do run them on the street, I went for it anyways. They do have a DOT rating. They are very light weight and most of that weight come from the thickness of the rubber. Both in the 'tread' and side walls. So they are not very good at dealing with road hazards, curbs, etc. If you read between the lines in the information you posted from Hoosier, road hazard is really what they are talking about. I doubt I will ever go back.
