[QUOTE="guarnibl, post: 14218413, member: 33086"] I appreciate your (everyone's) concerns -- I really do, and this is exactly why I was asking -- I'm by no means an expert. I'm for sure making assumptions, and that's why I indicated I was going to do more research (I wouldn't have posted this thread if I didn't want people's opinions regardless if they differed from my own or not). I think calling Hoosier is an excellent idea, and will take that advice. Perhaps I shouldn't have said it doesn't apply in my situation, but rather -- the risks are minimized vs, say, operating the tire on a public roadway in the mid-western United States where it's likely to rain, etc. I'm basing all my information off their warning, which states that operating their tire on a public roadway can result in "loss of traction, unexpected loss of vehicle control, or sudden loss of tire pressure." It sounds like from what you're saying that my interpretation is wrong -- which may be the case. But I assume these all come from the fact that under an auto-x/road course -- the road conditions are more under control, where a public roadway they are not. And I 100% agree with that. I have no doubt that it's dangerous if a variable that would come up that you need to avoid (weather, road hazard/potholes, uneven surfaces, etc). I.e., loss of pressure from a pothole or nail (there's less puncture resistance in a race slick), weather (rain resulting in instant hydroplaning), road conditions (not sure what exactly would cause an accident from this? not saying it can't, just couldn't come up with something off the top of my head that wouldn't fall into the road hazard category). I'll talk with Hooser tomorrow and try to better understand. Perhaps I'm not taking these warnings seriously enough and should just run Pilot Sport Cups. Going to try to at least swap my NT05R's over to my new wheels and see how they do after a burnout as well. Perhaps stretching them out from a 9.5" wheel to an 11" wheel will fix the handling characteristics. [/QUOTE]
