If treaded tires have more grip than tires with less tread, why are racing slicks so grippy?
In: Engineering
Little off topic but I remember in a Top Gear episode one of the boys is taking a crash course on driving a F1 car and a few times he lost grip, skidding around the corner, because he was driving too slow and the slicks required more friction to get warm enough to provide enough grip.. that was a memorable bit, I wouldn’t have thought speeding up would be the remedy for skidding around the corner
