Hybrids are already a successful tire dominating at events such as the CRCRC Midwest Championships and the popular Motorama event.

Supported lug control and X-braced sidewall lug detail is designed to go the distance in long qualifiers, final main events and beyond. The 3Ds were the hottest tire on the slick groove surface at the recent JConcepts Clash where Ryan Maifield TQ’ed in convincing fashion. Developed to be the ultimate Slick-groove tire, the 3Ds are a first to combine the high-stability design of a black groove bar tire into an individually flexible pattern of finely spaced Double Dee lugs in one package. 3Ds include the Profiled (closed cell) insert design featuring the unique, highly durable material, bright blue color and revolved cuts which provide extra full support, stability and cushion.
