I worked for a major tire manufacturer in the passenger car tire and light tire area. I don't know other types of tires very well.

- BUT -

I would think that bicycle tires are by definition at least moderately curved in the tread area or they wouldn't function correctly. (Yes, I am aware of "Darkside" in the motorcycle arena.)

So either a trike or a quad would use bicycle tires or some other type of tire (which would in turn, not be appropriate for a bike)
