I've yet to meet a person over here who has mounted a trials tire and gone back to a knobby for any reason. Seems like every time we hit the trails, there are more and more of them out there. Northwestern NC, btw....    Lovely mountain riding!

Modest beginings start with a single blow of a horn, man.

That is a real eye-opening test, Opferman. I'd not have believed it had I not seen that. I'm impressed and surprised.

I put a cheapo trials tire on my KDX. A friend gave it to me because I needed a DOT rear tire. It came with his GasGas trials bike. So far I like it. Even for a cheap tire it works really well. Takes awhile to get used to the look of the skinny tire on there though LOL.

I've been giving much thought to trying one as well, just haven't had the extra cash to build a spare 18" wheel for my KX250. I am currently running a Dunlop MX31 120/80-19 on it, and I think I like it better than the 756.
Maybe this year I'll start piecing together an 18" wheel I'm eager to see
If a pair of 2" brass balls isn't working, I doubt that the 3" model will make much difference.
