the only reason tyres have tread (and therefore less surface area) is to dissipate standing water on the road, which in turn means the tyre is directly on the road, and not water

without tread, they have more surface area and therefore more grip - hence why racing cars use slick tyres


it is hard to tell from the video, but it almost looks like only one wheel was spinning which is surprising . . . still a dick move even if it was mechanical, but the lack on tread on the tyres would not have caused the accident

Slicks are made of a way softer rubber, and also the cords are typically ran different inside. Running a bald street tire is not better than a treaded street tire by any means lol on a drag strip, they put down solution on the line to get a good sticky grip for launch. They also have the burnout pit, and that is to warm up your rubber real nice to help keep your slick ass tires from spinning on launch. Them drag cars burning the shit out if the tires just before they hit the line is not just to show off. If you have a corvette. Your tires are made and rated for what you could expect to get out of that vehicle. You can't just go to most any tire shop and get some corvette tires. They are like 20 inches wide and always made to perform. Typically you order them and wait for them. I'm gonna say that vehicle had a underlying issue, which caused a hard torque steer. And that guy didn't know what he had sitting under him.

I love how the troop of pointers arrived JUST in time, but at least the first guy had the sense to call for a pizza before calling for the ambulance

Can we all just agree the driver of the corvette was a moron and move on from this thread that should not have been elevated to sticky status? Please. Thanque.

who mentioned drag strip????

lol lol lol

for the last time - the tyres on the piece of crap did not cause the accident; the tyres were mentioned in the very first post in a way that suggested they were the fault . . . they were not
