Tread is designed to squeegy the water out to the side of the tyre through the channels. That is why they are all angled towards the sides.
Carcass construction would be interesting. A more compliant carcass would give a 'softer' ride, but be squirrelly in corners, especially if the pressure were lower, as the tyre flexes.
I'd need a lot of convincing to try Avons again after a horrible descent of the Galibier many years back!
