What do lw rotors have to do with anything? We’re talking about tires. Not sure why people are getting so confused. Are lw rotors useless on the street? Of course not. Are slicks useless on the street and clearly a single purpose tire? ABSOLUTELY.
Is this a street tire, or a slick?

Because by your definition it ‘should qualify’ but in reality, it’s a slick and is irrelevant.
We can all play games with the rules. As was mentioned above, if you want to go by what is street legal, Jake EVERY SINGLE JHM RECORD EVER including ALL of your 2.0T times will be removed from the list. Why? because not one of those times was street legal. They’re all running modified exhausts and mostly are catless, and are thus illegal. So out they go.
Same goes with 95% of the times we have because the cars were running street ILLEGAL parts/non certified modifications.
This is my point. If you want to use some poorly defined law, you will end up with shitty information. Basically the ‘street legal slicks’ are slicks, and if we’re trying to have a list that focuses on real times for real cars, we’re allowing ourselves to be fooled.
