The better tyres are those with silica compound. but these tyres don't come cheap especially for the bigger sized tyres.IMO, thread pattern don't really affect straight line dry grip, it comes into play to disperse water ala Formula 1. However, the block patterns does affect the cornering grip, big blocks threads are good for lateral grip as they tend to flex less during cornering. That being said, it should oso mean that there would be lesser flex as the tyres wear thinner provided the compound used remained effective.</blockquote>
