Cut slicks.....are they legal on the road? How safe are they on roads in damp or wet conditions? Im presuming not too good in damp/wet?

Slicks are marked "not for highway use" - cutting a tread pattern into them won't change that............

Plus you'll struggle to get them anywhere near operating temperature so they'll feel like wood

Unpredictable and dangerous

haven't used them on anything other than a pitbike they was good on that but they was 12 inch

Alot of the lads I ride on the road with use Goldspeed pre cut slicks. Admittedly these are on supermotos. They seem to be road legal

is there a reason you think  you need these? plenty of completely legal tyres out there?

Just curious as the bike ive brought has them fitted. I planned to keep them for track days before i pluck the guts up to use slicks but wanted you sexy peoples opinions

Can't think of a single reason to run cut slicks on anything.  Modern road tyres are more than a match for anyone.

exactly only reason I could think of is vanity/cosmetic

or if your on a pit bike and decent tyres don't exist...
