Big T Posted June 24, 2005 Share Posted June 24, 2005 What do you consider to be the best tires for use on soft dry sand, wet sand, mud, dust and a little bit of tarmac? Or would I be better getting a couple of sets? One place I go to has the mud and dust and the other is on the beach (BIG BIG dunes) Cheers, Tony Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Big T Posted June 24, 2005 Author Share Posted June 24, 2005 I've seen some pics of trucks with like paddled tires on for the sand....would you recommend a pair of them for the back or are they more show? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dazzi220 Posted June 24, 2005 Share Posted June 24, 2005 dunno but the dozer tyre is good on sand but they a bit heavy but wide and good for skimming over water best pic of em i've got Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
waz Posted June 24, 2005 Share Posted June 24, 2005 Paddles are great for sand, nothing better. In mud they'd have way too much grip, but as long as it's wet mud they'd be okay. Dust and tarmac and they'll just wear like crazy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
