curious tire question
I don't get why street tires with hardly any tread, almost bald, don't get any traction, when drag radials with even less tread get more traction.... Is it because the rubber is softer on drag radials? or is there more to it?

RE: curious tire question
The rubber in a street tire also changes as the tread wears. The rubber when new is the softest during its life. As it wears, the rubber is of a harder compound.
Some manufacturers have changed this idea (such as the Uni-T tires) to allow for better performance all through the life of the tire.
