If you only ever ride in the dry and use your tyre from edge to edge (no chicken strips) and push your tyres hard all the time, then they will be ok to run on the road. But, if you ride in damp or wet conditions, or can't use a street tyre to it's full potential (not many people can on the road), then you are better off with a street tyre like an 016.
Nothing cracks me up more than seeing a super sticky tyre on a road bike with huge chicken strips.
