You keep telling yourself that...

Blimey opened up a can of wiggly worms. Think I'll keep my nice new clean bike on the turbo in the garage.

No leaves no tarmac. I can even shout the Mrs to bring me supplies..

Be careful which tyre you use - on the back.

The more rubber in contact with the road the more grip... Tread will only remove rubber giving you less grip

Not true, friction has no relation to surface area.

The complete quote is

Off road though, the tread is very important. In this situation the tread establishes an interlocking cog-like connection with the ground and enables the transmission of all driving, braking and steering forces. On rough or dirty roads, the tread can also contribute to better control.

Nothing grips on wet leaves.

Correct. Actually Ice tyres do a good job.

I'll leave that for you to test.

Yes, and? The first two sentences describe what the tread does off-road, then the last says it can also apply to filthy roads - like we have in English winters.

Correct. Actually Ice tyres do a good job.

Yep, the tread clears the mulch and then the spikes push through any remaining leaf matter.

Are you making this up?

Rubbish...

Go on, go play in the rotting leaves with some treaded tyres and see for yourself...

Maybe my pun was a little too subtle

 

[PhilDawson8270]

Frictional force = Coefficient of Friction * Reactive Force

Where does area come into it?
