I'm assuming they're a type of racing tire? Haven't had any experience on the track, and I'd think there are others here that are curious as well. Thanks!

The links are good enough but I guess we could add the warning for dramatic effect:
Quote:
WARNING: DOT labeled Hoosier Racing Tires meet Department of Transportation requirements for marking and performance only and are NOT INTENDED FOR HIGHWAY USE. It is unsafe to operate any Hoosier Racing Tire, including DOT tires, on public roads. The prohibited use of Hoosier Racing Tires on public roadways may result in loss of traction, unexpected loss of vehicle control, or sudden loss of tire pressure, resulting in a vehicle crash and possibly injury or death.
