Do you have a link that substantiates your claim (not that I disagree with it)?

It's useless for driving.

To the contrary, I've heard that slicks improve road performance on dry, solid surfaces. I'm to believe that tread exists for loose or wet surfaces, and that is why slicks are used when racing.

I'll take the braking ability of a new tire over the RR of a worn tire anytime.

Do you have a link that substantiates your claim? This one I highly doubt. Your claim is that stopping distance is doubled for a worn tire, which doesn't seem possible.
