i run skinnies on the street, and i love them. It makes turning with manual steering bearable...and it's not even noticeable when going around corners at normal speed. Obviously if you push them around corners they're gonna roll, but it's fine for cruising....

my cam doesn't produce a lot of vaccuum, so my brakes suck as they are, the skinnies don't do much to add or subtract to that suck-oscity...

wasnt there a post not to long ago about someones IROC eating **** because of skinnies? Something like it was raining, and the 1LE brakes where a bit too much for the skinnies, locked it up, put it in the ditch.... something to think about.
