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 tracks are smooth, clean (of any sort of debris), and dry. if they’re not dry the cars use “wet” or “semi-wet” tires that have treads to channel the water away and give you good road contact.
streets are never smooth or clean and are only dry half the time, so street tires are a compromise because nobody has a pit crew to change their tires for the current conditions following them around
