Why are slick tires illegal?
Since completely slick tyres are outlawed on most roads due to their inability to handle wet pavement, the “cheater slick” became a popular item in the hot rod world in the 1960s; a typical slick type tyre, but engraved with the absolute minimum amount of tread grooves required to satisfy legal requirements.

No. Slicks are track only. Drag Radials are street legal, but only minimally so.
Why are Nascar tires bald?
Race cars use tires without tread because smooth tires provide better traction in dry conditions. If the ground is wet, however, drivers will suddenly find themselves needing the grooved tread that siphons water away from the tires.
What’s better slicks or drag radials?
A true slick is usually bias ply and it cords form as x pattern all the way around the tire. A radial’s cords go directly from one side of the bead to the other. As far as drag racing goes, the radial will help keep you more stable while a slick will allow you to launch much harder.
Can you drive in the rain on slicks?
It depends on how much water is on the track. For light rain, slicks will not be as fast but they are manageable. For moderate to heavy rain, slicks have no tread pattern to move water so they provide no traction. The cars dont need a different setup, they need rain tires.

Why are F1 tires so smooth?
F1 tires have no treads because it makes them faster. The more contact the rubber has with the tarmac, the more traction it gets, which increases the speed and ability to corner properly. Therefore, using tires with no treads makes a lot of sense in a sport solely centered around making the cars as fast as possible.
Can you daily drive on drag radials?
Street-legal, DOT-compliant drag radials walk the line between a tire you can drive every day and one that will provide top tier performance in the quarter mile on a prepared surface.
