I doubt it would work on street tires. The rubber compound is too hard. I've seen cars at the track with street tires. The track is sprayed with VHT. The slicks that can be heated up have no problems sticking ubut the street tires still spin.

i prefer formulaV tire treatment. it will soften the compound of any tire and it doesn't dry out he tire the way VHT does.
