I consider myself an average rider, but i don't want to get taken out by someone on wore out tires or riding over their head.
I usually run my teammate's Pirelli race take-offs on my street bike when he's done with them (my own take-offs are 160's, my street bike takes a 180). A lot of street-only riders look at me like I've got three heads when they look at my tires. It always makes me chuckle

If they ask, I usually tell em the truth & say the tires have some race laps on em... but sometimes I'll play it up a bit & either just give them a head nod as if to say "yeah, that's right... I'm fast" or say I shredded em on my favorite back roads
