Question: How do smaller gaps between tread cause a regular tire in the mud to resemble a slick tyre?
Sentence (from "Racing slick"): Slick tyres are used on road or oval track racing, where steering and braking require maximum traction from each wheel, but are typically used on only the driven (powered) wheels in drag racing, where the only concern is maximum traction to put power to the ground.
