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 tires have to be within a certain temperature window to operate effectively. That’s why you see them swerving during the formation lap before the race, they are generating heat in the tires. They also use warming blankets for the tires. Too cold, and they lose grip, too hot and the same thing happens.
Regular tires are design to handle any road condition/temperature, not for going fast.
