Default Best Tires For Sand?

I Have Not Yet Purchesed A Lr Yet But Im Aiming For A Di 1995 And I Live On The Central Coast Of California. And Im Wondering What The Best Tire Choice For Sand Would Be Since Ill Be At The Dunes More Times Than The Trails.

Any Help Would Be Great!!

I don't think they make a tire to fit a disco but the Dick cepek fun country
tire is a great sand tire. Try to look for a tire with a similar tread pattern.

Without a lift, a 245/75/15 Super swamper or my favorite a BFG MT. At 14 to 16 #'s you will have a great time.
Let me know when you are ready to play at Pismo and I'll drive up and we will play.

For sand, definitely go with an All Terrain.. BFGoodrich's BFG TA/KO's are great..

Mud tires aren't the best for sand... with mud, the tire is designed to dig down and try to find solid ground.. with sand, there is no solid ground under it.. so you want something that'll perform on the surface of it better.

I agree with rmuller. With the BFG A/T's fitted, you can just air down when your on the sand, and when your not, you have a great allround tire.

Yeah, actually in my experience, the AT was the best all around tire.. the only thing I ever had a problem with was real deep mud.. but the ATs out perform my mud terrains in snow, sand, loose dirt, etc..
