Hello,

Has anyone used full wet racing tires on the street?
Hoosier says possible failure and death although DOT approved.
I understand why but checking for the other 80% of time they don't fail maybe.

Reason the Z is a wet driven car during those seasons which is 75% of its use.
And to get groceries. But want a part time track car and good performance in the wet. I can take to the track.

Or go with 3 sets of tires which is doable but storage issues.
snows, wet track or wet all seasons and track tire...

Any suggestions? thanks would prefer to try to get away with a really good wet tire I guess.

Cheers,
jb
