And what about grip?You only care about displacing water to prevent aquaplaning.

It does and it will displace more water than a slick.
It does this to increase the speed at which aquaplaning occurs.
There is no other reason for having tread on a tyre used on tarmac.
However, since it has been explained several times that bikes don't aquaplane, due to several factors, the use of tread is purely cosmetic.
You should get one.And what about grip?
That's questionable...It does and it will displace more water than a slick.

Nope. Let's be clear. That was NOT your original point. Your original point wasMy point is that a treaded tyre displaces water.
Why is there tread on a car tyre? To prevent aquaplaning.Tread on a tyre is there for the same reason that you get tread on a car tyre to displace water.
'On a normal, smooth road, even in wet conditions, a slick tyre actually provides better grip than a tyre with a tread, because the contact area is larger.'And what about grip?
It's just the arrows? That's a relief, for a minute there I thought you'd been riding with a rear tyre on the front and a front on the rear. That would be silly.
How come?
And what about grip?
No it's not.That's questionable...
That was never an issue, so there is no need to thank me.Thank you for agreeing my first post that I made in this thread.
Tread on a tyre is there for the same reason that you get tread on a car tyre to displace water. It's correct to have the tyre arrow pointing towards the direction of travel.
