The knobs on tires are so that water has a way to escape when a car drives over it. A completely flat Tyre has the most traction but can't handle rain. Every day Tires have a mix to handle all conditions. I may be wrong but I remember hearing this in a youtube video
That's basically correct. One caveat is that manufactures often put gripper material on the outside, while the inside is meant only as a base and doesn't have much grip. You can't make DIY racing slicks just by sanding down normal tires. Maybe you could back when the World's Fastest Indian guy did it, but not now.
