When you Google why are f1 tires smooth, the answer is no tread means more surface area, so better grip, but when you Google why do street tires have grooves, the same answer comes up. I’m confused. Also, is this a physics question, engineering or technology? Lol
In: Engineering
F1 wants as much of the surface area of a tyre to touch the ground as possible because that increases grip. And part of why they have such good grip is because there is so much downward force on the tires. Regular cars aren’t putting nearly that much force on them.
