If treaded tires have more grip than tires with less tread, why are racing slicks so grippy?
In: Engineering
racing slicks are made for dry, flat track surfaces where there’s more rubber contacting the pavement. for normal driving conditions that may include rain or snow, you need tread so the tire will grip better and not ride on a film of water. the grooves on normal tires let the water run through and keeps the tire contacting the road surface.
