DOT tires vs slicks

[pauliep]

How much less of a lean angle do DOT's have over track slicks?

[CurtisRR]

Lean angle or grip at same lean angle?

Lean angle should be the same to my knowledge but that doesn't mean there is quite as much grip. Limiting factor of lean angle is usually either scrapping parts and more likely rider ability.

there is no difference in lean angle...the amount of tire surface touching the pavement is greater on slicks than dots...
