As I said before, my rental has more tread than the wear

not too much more.

But... If it never snows and it never rains does it
matter how much
tread the tires have?

Don't race cars use slicks, for better traction?

Nails and such on the road.

Sand on the road, oil on the road, dew on the road - all
kinds of
reasons NOT to run slicks (including heat and wear)

As for 20 inchers, it's all "eye candy" if you are not on
the track.


not to mention "slicks" aren't street legal. To be totally
legal, the tires have to be DOT approved

And there ARE DOT approved "slicks". But I wouldn't want them on a
daily driver for MANY reasons
