lang Forums Junkie Location: Adelaide Registered: June 2003	why do worn tyres have no grip and slicks have lots? Wed, 24 March 2004 09:19 as per the title, how come tyres with worn rubber, like not fully bald down to the lining or anything, but with allmost no tread left, how come they have less grip than tyres that have more tread. a worn tyre has more rubber in contact with the roads surface, so wouldnt you expect it to have more grip, because that is the concept behind a slick tyre. more rubber in contact with the road means more grip, but with my tyres, 2 are pretty worn down, and 2 are still good, and the end with the worn ones has less grip and i rotated them and the same thing apply, the end with the worn ones has less grip i dont understand how come more rubber in contact with the road reduces the grip, is it crappier rubber down low or what?
