sand tires

What would be a good tire for loose sand. I just got a job at the beach and it requires 4wd to get to one of stations. I an looking for either 33's or 35's on stock rims. I will be adding a 2.5 leveling kit and an add a leaf to the rear. Keep in mind though that it's a 95 mile ride to work so I need a tire that will last a while to. Thanks for any help you can give.

i had the dune grapplers in a 285/70 17 on my 99 f150...they rode rougher than the bfgs but are cheaper. and they are awesome in loose gravel and sand, especially aired down. mud is a different story. if you are in much mud at all id go with the tried and true bfg.

Thanks I'll look into those. What about the ****Cepek Radial fun country 2's. Anyone tried them on sand and how do they last.

15.5" wide is going to be to wide for your truck. look at the 33/12.50. you will want to get 18x9 rim with about 5" of backspacing.
