Best Mostly-sand Tire

[t4r505]

I am in the market for tires now and I want to get some opinions on good sand tires that are decent in mud too.
I mostly wheel in the desert and drive through arroyos almost daily.
I have been looking at Nitto Terra Grapplers, Duratracs, and maybe BFG A/Ts. I think the best sand tire of the three would be the Nittos but the other two look better haha.

I've used BFG ATs on desert sand and beach sand and they are great. Highly reccomend them. Aired down they give good floatation and do not dig as much as mud terrains do. I currently run Duratracs and like them alot but have not been on sand with them. On gravel and snow they are excellent. Also the best looking tire imo. Never used the Nittos but always read good reviews.

What about mickey thompson baja claws? Mickey Thompson® Baja Claw® Radial Reviews

That was going to be my recommendation, good work :reddance: I ran them on my taco and loved them in the dunes. Just make sure you get baja claw "radials" and not the bias ply version. There fairly quiet for being so agressive and wear well with 5k rotations.

here's a pic, there 35's

I definitely would consider those but I am going 265/75/16 for now and they didn't list those on the web site

Also aren't the dune grapplers made for sand? But they do look gay. So Gay

Yeah those dune grapplers have flames on the side that's too flamer, haha no pun intended, for me

I ran my worn out michelin l s or whatever and pulled out a 99 zr-2 blazer twice, the second time sideways in deep sand. So I am hoping my new tires will be better but I know balder tires are good in sand
