Was wondering how mud tyres perform on sand ?? Have heard that standard road tyre are the best but Im not sure on that opinion. Have been to stockton beach numerous times but have always had BFG A/T's on previous 4wd's and wether it was my imagination but the difference between the A/T's and the standard road tyres the A/T's seemed to be actually that bit better in the sand. I have never run standard road tyre on the beach.Two exact same 4wd's both running 16psi the A/T's seemed to get further and the road tyres just seemed to spin more cause they had nothing to grab where as the A/T's it seemed the outer lugs were helping pull it through the sand better ?? Have heard that mud tyres on sand will want to dig themselves into the sand obviously wanting to bury itself but in saying that my mates GQ 4.2 had no problems what so ever running 16psi. Reason Im asking is if the road tyres are the best for the sand/beach/fraser then I will put some muddies on second rims BUT if the A/T's are better for sand then I will fit them up instead. I probably wont be doing that much mud driving but if the muddies are ok for sand eg Fraser which I would be doing more of then I will go muddies. Regards Steve
