No real traction on smooth roads, as the other poster alluded to in
their Sheldon Brown post.

But I have found tread to be nice on the more imperfect roads I travel.
Not a lot of tread but tread like a Schwalbe Marathon or Avocet Cross II
that i currently run.

I have tested this on the same bombed out roads. I used Primo Comets,
some other slicks and the tires mentioned above. The tires with slight
tread handles the imperfections in the road a bit better. Though both
styles do well on wet roads.
