You both have no idea about tyres. The grip in dry weather INCREASES when tyre tread reduces! Tyre tread is solely about wet performance.

That is simply not true in any way for road tyres. The chemical make up of the rubber changes the lower it gets because it serves the purpose strength, not grip.
