Thread: Mud Tyres on Soft (WA) Beach Sand

I use STT's on sand. (245/70R17). Down to 16psi and it's like driving on bitumen!

Claws work awesome...

Simex too...

Just get your foot off the go pedal if you get stuck!

Good way to dig yourself a big bloody hole in the sand. Something I would probably do just for being a goose

I use BFG Muddies at 18psi and have never had a problem,

Why my Disco came with skinny (205/16) Bridgestone Desert Duelers M+S (Mud and Snow) in a beach run paradise is beyond me.....

but, they do the job in sand and IF!!! I get stuck I just drop em to 18 psi and not a prob! Never had to be recovered or have even used traction mats..... thus far.... touch some wood now Gra.......

I reckon I could use these in the sand hills of the Sahara on the Dakar run, they do the job.....

Ive used a few different types of tyer on the sand at stockton and have found that a 235 85 16 BFG all terain at 16 psi works better than a 33x12.5x15 buckshot maxxis mudder at 10 psi and have had 275x70x16 at 12 psi they were on par to the maxxis maby a little better ...

Have found that a skinny tyer will work better than a wider tyer on sand as with the skinny tyer theres not as much sand to push with a smaller surface area than a wider tyer ...

The BFG's at 16 psi would get up ontop of the sand easier than the buckshots and they float a bit better i think

Hi Ben
My CooperS/Ts arent exactly aggresive,havent bitten me or any kids yet .I airdown and they are fine,biggest problem with the aggresive tyres on beaches they will dig in if you allow it.Air down, momentum up over the softer stuff no probs.
