the reason for not runn0ing race tires on the street is more so because of the heat cycles... race tires are only designed to heat up and cool off so many times before they lose their ability to grip... riding on the street would cause them to endure many heat cycles quickly so they wont grip nearly as well as they should... I'd personally stick to the track with a set of tire warmers to keep them up to temp when i'm not riding
