Not necessary. Slick tires don't have any tread or thread, worn out tires don't have any either

The tires on my Duc are Pirelli Angel ST.

They start of with one tread pattern, and depending on how you ride, develop a new tread pattern showing either an Angel or a Devil.

Guess which kind of tread I have on it now...

Well cars don't always have brakes. For instance a runaway Toyota doesn't have brakes, it has teh breaks
