Might a little tire tread actually matter with a large slick?

sand water mud ...itsall hydroplanning from the tire's perspective.
the loose stuff on the relatively hard road surface(s) iare fluids.
grooves and sipes allow tread to sink into and bite the surface nt
float over it. BITE think BITE

Well true story the rear tire on my bicycle was subjected to a massive
load
at high speeds once -- It was after a night at the bar capped off by a
meal
at Taco Bell. I pedaled my ass off but didn't quite make it home in
time.

Thanks for sharing.

The Performance Gotham might be worth a try. It's the most hosey of
the Panaracer Pasela family, but still half a pound less per end than
what I've got. Once you rock a 900g tire, just about anything feels
like a race day tire. The Gotham may actually be cheaper on sale at
Nashformancego than cost +10 on the Panaracer branded version. Oy.

I put those-- 700x35 Gothams-- on my lovely wife's Chicago Schwinn
(which she has named "Cake In A Cup"). They are chunky shoes for
sure, but quieter by far and almost certainly faster than my CST
Ciudads.

A tire named after a town in Wisconsin! Wow!

the body is a supportive net. the tread excellent climbing loose dirt/
sand hills/dunes. carries yards of debris into the truck.
Not good for the tennis court but I lost my stroke somewhere back in
1966 so....
Is the road a tennis court or sand dune ?

maybe yawl hung on TdF racer slicks. What are the TdF managers
mounting for all day rain thru French limestone bottomland farm
roads ?
Race course surfaces are coarse, unworn down by traffic then vacuumed
before the weekend.
Conti slicks work well on clean asphalt then rely on superior carcass
and rubber to twiddle over the garbage.
Contact ! a source of humor. Conti's range includes slippery hi
mileage low intelligence tires and the TT cafe touring excellence.
And CST - scent trall standard thyme ? - aphids ? and the Big Apple ?

and what if not Vanwall ?

Oh well, have fun with the that buggy computer, anyway ;-)
