I'd never use them in the rain. I'd be buying a new set of rims for these and only using them to drive an hour to the track, run, then home. I'm curious if the bias plys can handle sustained highway use for an hour or more. The companies make it sound like if you run em on the street they'll blow out or something. I'm not worried about miles either, I'd probobly be replacing them after the season anyway. I'm curious just what kind of miles they'll handle, 5k? less? more?
