The tyres are worn down to a point they were never intended to run at, I don't know but the rubber compound could be completely different that far down, not to mention the risk of punctures.
Well, safer and better in the driver's mind until they fly too close to the sun and realize following the accident that there was a puncture or that the rubber delaminated off the belt during the commute. This happened fairly regularly at the track I worked at, though that was more from folks running their slicks too long.
No, it's not. Modern tyres are not just some rubber in the shape of a roundel. They have different layers of rubber, metal and other stuff. When you wear them down like that, you're not riding on the compound which is intended to make contact with the ground.

If slick tyres are used in F1, they’re good enough for me.

Make sure you use your tire warmers every morning.

Should oil the brake pads too, don't want them to squeak.

If it's not raining/snowing etc. then it's actually safer and better.

A drive to the store would have the wires showing. These tires weren't designed for this

As with speed, as with smooth driving: start with the suspension.
wreckedcarzz@lemmy.world · 27 pts · 2y
brb sanding down my suspension
LemmyKnowsBest@lemmy.world · 13 pts · 2y
Why stop there? If sanding things down makes performance more optimal, I'mma sand down every component in my vehicle.
atocci@kbin.social · 10 pts · 2y
No no you're missing the point. Sand the road flat.
LemmyKnowsBest@lemmy.world · 5 pts · 2y
Aye
Globulart@lemmy.world · 2 pts · 2y
You're not thinking this all the way through, why sand flat when you can sand downhill?

Those transmission gears would probably work way better without those teeth on 'em.
