Yes, they are excellent for dry lane conditions and/or picking up spares. Their slick surface composition means they will not hook even if you put a lot of spin on the ball and so they will go where you aim them. On a dry lane the slick surface keeps them from hooking too much and allows you to control the ball better than a ball with a grabbing surface texture. == ==
Yak Trax is a traction control system. These would come in handy where a person is walking on dangerous ground such as ice and snow, or on an oily slick surface.

Cold slick tires are not suitable for wet conditions as they lack the tread patterns necessary to channel water away from the contact surface. Without treads, these tires can hydroplane easily, leading to reduced traction and control. For wet conditions, it is best to use tires specifically designed for such environments, which feature grooves to enhance grip and water dispersion.
They are slick because the asphalt is newly layed out and its not bumpy.
Roads are typically more slick after it rains due to the water mixing with the oils and other substances on the road surface, creating a slippery layer. It's important to exercise caution when driving in these conditions to avoid accidents.

Auctomatic Stability Control. It helps to keep the tires from spinning on slippery surfaces. If you push the button it will disable and you can spin the tires on a slick surface if you wish.
traction control, it restricts the power to the drive wheels. Good when in slick conditions when your power wheels try to spin, the power is reduced so you can regain traction
Yes, "slick" is an adjective. It is often used to describe something that is smooth, shiny, or well-executed. For example, one might refer to a slick surface or a slick presentation. Additionally, it can carry connotations of being clever or deceptive in certain contexts.
For slick conditions, the best mountain bike tires are typically those with a tread pattern that provides good grip on wet or slippery surfaces. Look for tires with widely spaced knobs and a softer rubber compound for better traction. Brands like Maxxis, Continental, and Schwalbe offer tires specifically designed for slick conditions.
