Rain tires?

Full rains. I suppose they could use DOT's as rim protectors, but it wouldn't look as cool...

Rain tires. They only mount them up to roll the bikes around.

Don't hate. That's the most action rain tires get in the AMA.

I have heard that too about transport tires, but why can't they roll em around / transport the bikes on slicks?

slicks are sticky, and may pick up small road hazard objects in the pits

This year in MotoGP, Yamaha is harnessing the tractive power of millipedes.
