Ok.... thinking long term here. I want to buy a spare tire to match my next set of tires/rims. I want to buy them primarily to run Silver Lake Dunes. I have been looking (and drooling) through picture from previous RF meets and from other sites. I have seen every thing from H/T's to boggers. I am kinda confused. I always heard run the widest possible A/T. I have heard Thornbirds are a god sand tire. True? What about Nitto Terra Dune Grapplers?

 

Nitto Dune Grapplers, made to run on sand.

 

Yea something wide will get you through, you don't necessarily want a huge tread pattern, that is good for digging you on deeper. You want the tires to sit on top of the sand.

 

Aren't these supposed to be real good for sand?

 

You wanna talk about cost

 

I loved my Mud Grapplers in the Sand, amazing tire compared to the others i have seen. i was impressed.

 

So are you coming to the dunes meet? I mean you really can run whatever tire you got since you are 4wd

 

any good A/T tire will do. Are you going to running these on the road also?

 

Those ugly **** Truxus tires are sand tires and do pretty well in it. I hate to say it cuz I hated the tires, but my 36x13.5 Irocks were always great on the beaches at the Outerbanks. Now I boggers on & they suck in the sand so I gess I'll have to bring a shovel with me this year so I can dig my self ouf out. lol

 

Hope i will make it out there sometime with you guys. I will be in college this year so as long as the dates work out for me then i want to go.



Yes i probably will be running these as the DD tires.

 

paddles if you got the power for them....

 

You do know were heading back to the dunes the weekend of August 22nd???

 

Yes, the trxus STS are a GREAT tire in the sand, especially if you get the bias ply ones. They make them extra wide for that purpose, like their 31 is 11.5 inches wide.

 

I know. Thnkx anyways. i will be in British Columbia the weekend before and getting back on the 21st. I go back to college on the 25th. I think it might get a little busy if i went.

 

do you guys have a thread for this meet?
