Are racing slicks and tires that extend beyond the fender well allowed?

Racing slicks and tires that extend beyond the fender well are not allowed on public roads because they can compromise safety and vehicle control. Tires that surpass the fender well can create hazards such as debris being thrown off the tires, which can endanger other road users. Additionally, using slick tires, which are designed for optimal performance in racing conditions, can impede traction on wet or uneven surfaces common in everyday driving.

The regulations emphasize the need for tires that provide adequate grip and safety for various driving conditions, which slicks do not offer for normal road use. Extending tires beyond the fender well also may lead to legal issues concerning vehicle modifications, further reinforcing the importance of strictly adhering to vehicle equipment standards.
