Default vortex generator question

im thinking of getting one, and im wondering why they say "off road use only" is it because if you stick them on with tape like they seem to suggest, they wil fall off??

or some other reason??

am i best to bond it to the roof in the case of them falling off easily?

thanks

I'd imagine they (the company selling them) are just covering they're own backs. I can't see why you can not use them on the rd?
