As mentioned, bicycle tires without a tread pattern will typically have greater contact with the pavement. The grooves in tread represent part of the tire that may not be in contact with the pavement, so you actually might have less traction with them versus slick tires without a tread pattern. The contact patch on a bicycle tire is so small you don't risk aquaplaning.
