Why bicycle tires have small treads?
Not all of them have. Bicycle tires for soft/loose surfaces will have coarse treads and very knobbly patterns.But bicycle made to be ridden on hard surfaces will have very smooth treads.The main reason why car tires for road use have tread patterns at all is to avoid aquaplaning. And due to the shape and size of the contact patch of a bicycle tire, a bicycle can'taquaplane. So small/no treads will do fine.
