Is that "you don't want to be caught with them on the street" due to 
legal reason or safety reason? I looked at Michelin's rally tires and I 
can imagine the racket of road noise they'll probably make on smooth street 
road due to their tread design. But otherwise, it looks (potentially) fun 
in snow (yeah, it snows here where I live. SOmetimes heavily...).
