and I wouldn’t run takeoffs on a street bike.

Why? The compounds are stickier, are rated for higher speeds, and are cost effective. The only drawback I can see is they wear down a little quicker, but I have set to see a person change them within the same season unless they like showing off with burnouts. I’m happy to pay for a new set every year knowing they have less of a chance sliding from underneath me.
By all means, if there’s a more serious drawback, I’d like to know for my own well being.
(PS, to make sure we’re on the same page, “take offs” that I’m referring to are used once in races, not take offs as in “used” tires that someone rode on for a few months, or took off their brand new bike for better tires)
