Not something I personally would ever do. Aside from the ridiculous amounts of noise/squealing, the dust produced by many race pads is extreme and corrosive. Some pads like Hawk DTCs are even known to destroy the wheel finish if it gets wet and you don't clean it off right away. Changing over pads for track days is a minimal amount of work, WAY WAY WAY less then having to having to constantly clean your wheels. Let's also not forget the cost factor - good race pads are $600 a set, good street pads are maybe $150. Why wear down uber expensive pads just for tootling around town
