So the reviews on these tires said they have awesome forward traction but slide nice in corners. People said they like them in woods as well and that they even do well in mud. This is my first set of true flat track tires, so I don't have much to compare to, but I absolutely love them so far!

I ordered 20/11-9 and put them on some cheap steel 3+6 offset rims. I chose the cheap steel because I can run different widths by flipping the rims either +6 or +3. The assembly is on the heavy side, but it's not bad. I flat track race on occasion but %98 percent of my riding is on my family's dirt track or on trails. These tires are phenomenal for my riding style! They pull very very hard on dirt, but slide easily when desired. On hard gravel they aren't as grippy, I'm sure true flat track tires would do better there. Awesome trail performance too! I doubt that duro had 3 wheelers on mind when they designed these tires, but they incidentally made what are in my opinion, the best all around 3 wheeler tire around! (New front is on the way. That front is terrible but it was free haha)

Im pretty sure those tyres were, in fact, designed specifically for three wheelers. I recall that tread pattern being released to the market at the height of three wheeler racing back in the day.
