More rubber contact on the ground, do you see racing cars with treads?? Treads are so water can pass through so the car does not hydroplane. But hey you're the smart guy.

R compounds are not even remotely close to bald street tires. That's like comparing a tv dinner to a 5 star restaurant in new york. You are either very misinformed... or a ****ing retard.

So you are telling me regardless of the rubber, more contact = less traction?

Somewhat common misconception, but the rubber material at the bald point on street tires is a lot harder than Hoosier slicks. That's why you're being mocked.

Not comparing road tires to race tires. A bald road tire will have more traction than a road tire with treads.

Apparently smarter than you. So YOU tell me how a STREET TIRE with treads has more traction than a bald tire without treads since I already explained to you having more contact means better traction.
