Tires of a truck have grooves where as tires of a formula racing car are smooth can you think of a reason?
Race cars use tires with no grooves (or 'Slicks') as they provide the most surface area contact with the road which provides the most grip. More grip = more stability. The slicks are only used when the track is dry enough as they will not clear away water, they are more likely to lose contact with the track and hydroplane/aquaplane, which will cause a loss of grip. In Formula 1 when the track becomes too wet for slicks they will change tires to either Intermediate or Wet tires which feature different depth grooves for driving on a wet track. A road car cannot use slick tires as it must be suitable for driving in any condition at any given time, plus all 4 tires of a Formula 1 race car can be changed in a little more than 2 seconds, I doubt you'd be able to manage that with a road legal vehicle.
