That's cos you can't ride a race tyre hard enough on the road to get enough heat into it. They're designed to work at elevated temperatures in a narrowly-defined performance envelope - a road tyre has to cope with a much wide variation in conditions and therefore has to be more forgiving and flexible. People often make the mistake of thinking that sticky race rubber is gonna be better for the road - it isn't.

Whats wrong with a good set of Dunlop K70`s or TT100`s?

I'd go for standard Diablos.
