Should go without saying, but do not do this

If slick tyres are used in F1, they’re good enough for me.

Make sure you use your tire warmers every morning.

If it’s not raining/snowing etc. then it’s actually safer and better.

Well, safer and better in the driver’s mind until they fly too close to the sun and realize following the accident that there was a puncture or that the rubber delaminated off the belt during the commute. This happened fairly regularly at the track I worked at, though that was more from folks running their slicks too long.

The tyres are worn down to a point they were never intended to run at, I don’t know but the rubber compound could be completely different that far down, not to mention the risk of punctures.

A drive to the store would have the wires showing. These tires weren’t designed for this

As with speed, as with smooth driving: start with the suspension.

Why stop there? If sanding things down makes performance more optimal, I’mma sand down every component in my vehicle.

No no you’re missing the point. Sand the road flat.

It also plays a big role in towing capacity.
