See! You spouted off before reading the ad! Seriously tho',I've never liked track tires on the street,whether they are new or "take-offs". They never reach their correct operating temperature thus never give "maximum" grip. On the other hand if you consider that these are med-soft tires they are probably "grippier" cold than most street tires are hot. My biggest concern would be longevity and the tendency to cup,flat spot AND get flats because the carcass is typically not as "tough" as street tires....of course at these insane prices.... I posted this for our track lovers,just in case they were unaware but I can't say that I'm not tempted myself...$415
