Turning on a bicycle is different than in a car. When you turn on a bicycle you lean the entire bike to the side. This causes the sides of the tires to contact the pavement.

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.
