I understand that i'm not using it for what it was designed for. I also understand they were DESIGNED to have tread for the "conditions that one may expect to find themselves in driving a car on the street". I'm not surprised they don't work better, i'm just wondering WHY.

I'm not even talking about road conditions...I'm talking about smooth track conditions.

Not, "because they weren't designed for that" type of why, but because after x uses they get so hot they turn rock solid, or another forums reply was because they thought the tread itself actually flexed a lot, reducing the breaking point.

Sorry to beat this to death, but i'm just curious.... So has anyone taken a fully treaded tire and shaved it to a slick? Was the grip better? How long long did the grip last before it felt like a crappy tire made of ice?

Again, thanks for the replies. Its amazing how two different boards come up with 100percent different answers....
