My bros down south, what tires do you ride with in sand? I got tons of dunes that are waiting to be ridden but with no way to control in the sand, what do you all do for the sand?

lol..I think most people try not to ride in sand...it can tear your bike up...D

 

[iandude94]

just fit that on your bike

 

[f0ggy]

I would also need a motor to power that....not what I'm looking for.

thats amazing, I wounder if it would work for sand though

Not sure there is really a tire that would work "well" in the sand. Maxxis Swamp thing would probably be a good choice, but no matter what you pic, your going for a slide fest

Michelin Comp 32?

 

[PatBranch]

Why??

 

[bdamschen]

depends on the sand really. I've found that high rollers work really well in sand for keeping floatation above the sand rather than sinking down in and losing momentum, even the skinny ones, I don't know why. That's more for like, ft. ord/sea otter sand than actual dunes though.

I used to go with a bunch of guys and try to hit really steep sand dunes on beater hard tails, for that there's pretty much nothing to keep you in control, you just need to go fast and wait to crash, because you will. No matter what

Michelin Comp 32?

yup...

Eyes up, pedal ahead of yourself, try to float throught the sand with weight centered over cranks, pray to the pedal Gods that you will stay upright...
Tires? Ones with not too much air pressure in them. Round ones help too.

Riding a bike in sand wouldn't be any more fun than walking through it. (pretty lame if you've ever had to do it for a reasonable distance) Just go sandboarding or get a dirtbike or quad to ride there. It's really not worth trying to ride a bike in, regardless of what tires you have it will suck.
