I consider my car a street car and I don't have DOT tires on the back.

I did, but to be honest I didn't think that the tires I had were going to be safe in the rain anyway, so I was avoiding it anyway. When I changed them I just went to a set of real slicks.

Now I need to pin those needles, got to feel that heat
Hear my motor screamin while I'm tearin up the street
