Tires

Mt Tam I am

Question: In dry weather are slicks (or heavily worn) the best? i.e. more surface area in contact with the ground.

In dry weather, yes. But unfortunately true slicks aren't DOT legal (at least I havent seen any) although you can get DoT approved R compound tires that are damn near slicks.I honestly wouldn't want heavily worn tires for any kind of aggressive driving.

Pretty much yes. When autocrossing on street tires the tires get better as the tread wears off (less squirm) and are at their peak when practically bald and are done when you see cord. Throw in a couple of drops of rain though and you are going for a spin!
