1. Reduce belt wear and flipping (even on the street)...even though this is not a serious problem.

2. Even at $600 it's a VERY cheap way to pick up some significant HP and torque. For street or track.

I concur that the vast majority of folks (the same ones that correctly argue that the cheapest tire possible meets their needs because it is "adequate") would not 
benefit from nor even consider buying such a kit, but there are still plenty of us that would... if it's a proven solution.
