Racing cars are fitted with tyres called ‘slicks’, which have no tread pattern, for dry tracks, and with ‘tread’ tyres for wet tracks. Why? Please help me.

Answer:
More flat tyre surface means more area of contact on the road. Which ultimately leads to more grip. But in wet track, treads are used to disperse the water between tyre and road. If there is no tread, water forms a thin layer between road and track and makes the tyre to loose grip.

Answer:
Slicks allow greater speed in dry conditions but in wet conditions treads provide frictional force to prevent skidding.
