Actually wide small diameter tires are the best for sand, especially ones that resemble a paddle. Have you ever seen a dune buggy with BFG A/T KOs? No, you see them with paddle tires since they dig and get great traction in the dunes.

right, dune buggys are built for the dunes, 6000 lb bricks on mud terrains arent. i was speaking in terms our two trucks. nitto has those new dune grapplers that look to be an excellent sand tire.

actually saw a couple of those buggys at frank raines this weekend, they are cool. This one guy had a double wide that had an awesome paint job with a buncha girls riding with him, it was awesome.

I dont want to get into this little girl slap fight but.... Almost all offroad buggys that arnt running the baja TAs are running the BFG ATs, go to the dunes and look around if the sand rail doesnt have paddle tires on it had ATs on. A lot of people use their rails in the dunes and the desert and most will run the ATs, only people that come only to run the hill really use paddles. You will see just as many AT as paddles, and paddles dont dig the scoop, mud tires dig and thats not good. Also I have the nitto dune grapps on my race truck, I didnt notice a difference over my ats but to be fair the sand was like Ive never seen it before it was wet right under the top layer it makes it really weird I had never seen it like that before.
