Sorry to hear that swamp. Unfortunately less tread doesn't always equate to more grip. Conditon of the rubber compound through use/heat cycles can easily break down the adhesion to the point where it more that offsets the increase in contact patch. Look at any racing slicks and you will see the same thing, they lose grip after a period of time depending on a number of factors. To be fair to lucid, I think he was thinking "why not" take them to the track since you were going to trash them anyway, although sounds like they were too bad to even be fun.
