Bicycle tyre design

Some friends brag about how good the thread design, how it increase the grip and improve the brake ability. Actually, tyre thread only matter in off-road cases. On-road, whether it's wet or dry, the thread design doesn't matter at all.

A very good article the I pull-up from the Internet explained this. You may also search about hydro-plating on the Internet and you will understand why bicycle tyres don't need threads to remove water during wet-road.
