I know a couple of riders that use them on the street. They were not bought with streets in mind though. They were bought for track in mind but still ride them on the street.

yup...I ran some on my old R6 and they take a while to warm up on the street. If you use them just for the street, expect about 1000-1500 max from them

Good old fashoined hi silica compund, they heat up and stick then wear out fast. Predictable, not great in the wet.
