LPT for a smooth ride
You're viewing part of a thread.
A racing slick or slick tyre is a type of tyre that has a smooth tread[1][2][3][4] used mostly in auto racing. The first production slick tyre was developed by M&H Tires in the early 1950s for use in drag racing. By eliminating any grooves cut into the tread, such tyres provide the largest possible contact patch to the road,[5] and maximize dry traction for any given tyre dimension
