The rope actually work better if it's a little loose since it then pulls back out into a chevron shape as the wheel spins and it gets far better bite since it's then a much longer contact length, it also keeps it from falling into the tread grooves.
Rope also doesn't get hard when it gets colder, nor does it get slippery on ice like wet rubber does.
It's also a LOT gentler on your paint & bodywork if it comes undone.
