My experience with HPS+ is that they make a lot of noise on the street and emit Toxic Evil Dusttm (T.E.D. label courtesy of sperry). If that's acceptable collateral damage then they might work.
Careful, HPS, and HP+ are different pads... HPS are high performance streets with no real expectation of being trackable. The HP+ are lightly trackable.
