Best Answer

Slick tyres are tyres without tread. The tread is only there so that water can be pushed into it on a wet track. On a dry track no tread is needed and therefore you will get more contact with the road without it, allowing the cars to accelerate/brake/corner faster. Therefore slick tyres are used as they are faster in dry conditions.
