The more rubber on the ground = more traction or grip for the cars e.g. more speed.

How does wet roads help racing cars?
It doesn't wet roads take traction away from racing cars. Race cars are fastest with slick tires, when the road is wet it forces them to use threaded tires to dissplace the water. If the racers want to slide easily around corners that the wet road would be helpful
Which gas is pumped in the tyers of racing cars?
I assume you mean tires - not tyers... So some race cars use Nitrogen for the properties that it has. It is noncombustible, has larger molecules and is absolutely dry.
Do any European cars need 14 inch tires?
Many European cars use 14 inch tires.
Where do you use tires?
mainly on cars,bikes etc
Is Firestone Tire a NASCAR sponsor?
Firestone tire is a NASCAR sponsor. Some of the cars use firestone tires other cars use NASCAR tires. Firestone also sells NASCAR tires in addition to their own brand.
If friction isn't dependent on surface area but only on the coefficient of friction between two surfaces and the reaction force then why do racing cars use bigger tires with greater area?
Friction doesnt not depend on the surface area...but the force of friction does! We cannot change the friction of a material but we can change the force due to that friction on another material in contact with it. Using this concept, racing cars have bigger tires to minimise the force of friction acting on them. They cannot change the friction of the road, so they change the resultant force on the tires.
What type of tires do race cars use?
slick tyres are used.

Which gas in pumped in the tires of racing cars?
I think it is Nitrogen. The normal air mixture pumped into regular road cars is not efficient at high speeds and will lose pressure easily. If that happens there could be catastrophic consequence at high speed. That is why they use nitrogen If you pump nitrogen into the tires of your regular road car, you need not check tire pressure for 3 months.
What are racing cars made of?
Mostly motorcycle and cars manufacturing companies use Carbon fiber and Aluminum.
What gas does car tires use?
Street cars air (which is manily Oxygen, nitrogen), race cars nitrogen.
