We allow them at our track because the shop got them in. I had bought some before the official rules came about. I have been the only one using them so far on our outdoor track and my thought is that the treaded tires are better, initially. It seems to take longer to get the rears to heat up wwith the slick and so the first few laps are kinda sketchy, but once they do they are as good as the treaded.
