Are bald tyres non tread tyres?
Bald tyres are tyres where the tread has been worn of in use and if this is the case then the tyres are not same (and illegal) to use. There are tyres made without a tread (for racing cars), these are not called bald tyres, they are called "slicks" and instead of a tread the surface of the tyre is made to be sticky in use.

Slick tyres are tyres without tread. The tread is only there so that water can be pushed into it on a wet track. On a dry track no tread is needed and therefore you will get more contact with the road without it, allowing the cars to accelerate/brake/corner faster. Therefore slick tyres are used as they are faster in dry conditions.
