Dunlop Sportmax Slicks or just really worn down tires?

....and pointless. You will never get heat into them.
He will have less grip.
Pic of the DOT stamp?
Not legal regardless. Because rain.

Unless the tire is clearly marked 'not for highway use' it is road legal.
And FYI, the tires in the original pic aren't slicks, they have a minimal, vestigial tread except for the guy who's bike is leaning against the fence.
I only saw the two bikes at first, I now see the 3rd bike in the pic which clearly is on slicks.

Cropping down the picture might have helped ?Lol you guys, open your eyes sheesh.
It doesn't have a legal plate, turn signals or exhaust either - I don't think they're bothered

And parked on the sidewalk - where's a cop when you need one ?

Not legal, but I once street rode a set of slicks I got free when I was first starting out. Back then my idea of riding was commuting to school, going shopping, or hanging out at Weston Rd and Finch, but never rode in the rain. My kickstand leaned my bike more than I did, so it was no big deal. Until one day it rained while I was already out. I was scared out of my mind on the way back to Mississauga on the 401 from Yorkdale Mall, but in retrospect, it was still no big deal - it would need to be a massive downpour with pooling like a few nights ago to be a problem. Racers can stay out on slicks when it starts raining until a certain point. Not to say I recommend it - follow the law. LOL.

Not me, but I do know someone who still does that. He either starts off with brand new ones, or uses the ones off his race bike.
