    should have known better than to expect a sane answer!!

    I figure theyre race use only as they either take an age to heat up (prob not the case for wets), and/or the thread is very soft, and prob only good for a couple of hundred k, if even

    insurance, you prob guess already, but dunno what the cops would do tbh

    Full race wets heat up quicker than a normal road tyre to give instant grip in wet conditions. It would surprise you how much grip you would have in the wet. However, due to the fact that it would wear rather quickly due to the quick warm up time and the fact that you could never use it in the dry (it would overheat and come apart) there's not really much point.
