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
what gives you more traction on a slippery floor – the palm of your hands or your finger tips? that’s the same with F1 tires….treaded tires are designed for different scenarios from snow/mud to rain, to better fuel efficiency etc…F1 tires in theory will not be as good on wet surfaces but if the track is too wet then they either postpone the race or the drives simply slow down and adjust their cornering to suit.
