you can't go by that--only. Depends on how wide the tires are and the weight of the rear of the car. If you have slicks and a light rear end--- you will have the tendency to spin your tires and not "lock" up. Too little contact and you do the same. It's all a mixure of tire compounds, surface area, air pressure,power, and weight. You could also have the same problem going around corners at high speed

A couple of things to clear up here. By tires with no tread, are you talking about worn out street tires or racing slicks? big difference. The worn out street tires will be slower because they don't have the grip. The racing slicks will be faster because they are made with a a much softer rubber that will give you more traction on a dry pavement.

On a wet surface most likely, the tread tire will be faster because it has the ability to channel water away from the tread and will get better traction than either slick tire. good luck.

A car with no tread on the tires will jump off the start line first. The car with tread on the tires will out run the other at high speed IF both cars are totally alike. Pops

"Which is more faster..." That's some great command of the English language you have going on there.

The tread grooves on tires are designed to move water and/or grip snow. On dry pavement they do not contribute to traction. In fact they reduce traction on dry pavement because there is less rubber in contact with the road and the tread blocks are prone to flexing, which reduces responsiveness.

So in cornering peformance, a "slick" tire, one with few or no tread grooves such as used in racing will be faster than a tire grooved for street driving - all other factors being equal. If its raining that situation is reversed.

That depends. Racing tires are made of very soft high grip rubber and have no tread. They will beat out any high performance treaded tire on the market.

If the tire has no tread because the tread has simply worn off, then it wont grip for crap.

Tread provides grip, therefore I'd say the treaded is slower.

This is very evident in bicycles. U can swap out your Mountain Bike Knobby Tires for Slick Tires and you will have a faster bike.

And look at the racing cars:

they both go the same speed.tires with tread or with out makes the difference on how smooth it the car rides down the road it might make a difference if you are racing the car with another

tire with tread would be faster, less friction because of less surface area touching the ground. but it depends on if your asking including spinouts, the more friction the less likely to spin out, ie drag tires have no tread.

well it depends on if you are looking for acceleration or top speed... acceleration would be more tread because you would be able to get the power to the ground, top speed would be less tread because less friction, however i dont recommend taking your car 150 mph on bald tires lol

with out doing the math, remember the backside of the tire isn't shifting in any respect, so there is not any centrifical tension. the ideas-blowing of the tire is shifting two times as speedy as a results of fact the motor vehicle. So... in basic terms a guess (lower back with out the math) a million/2 what the 1st individual mentioned.
