[81_yota]

i know its proly been asked but im currently getting things ready for my yota build and thinking of buying the new bfgs mudterrain t/a km2s has anyone run these? and how did u like them? or is there better tires for sand then these ??

[kneedownnate]

Wide and smooth for sand

[bleakhorizon]

anything with round treads. nothing that digs like boggers.  the wider the better...  richard cepek FCII would be really good   or the swamper STS

[yota4x4sc]

Mall Terrains do quite well

[Rockcrawlintoy]

richard cepeck fun countries the originals

[88_Pathy]

an aired down tire works the best.  The bigger the better

[Rocksnail]

Truxxis work really good. FCII also. or sprint car slicks i use to run a set of 33 x15.5 slicks in the dunes and they where awesome

The wider the tires aired down are the best.
Ive seen street tires aired down to five pounds on the sand and they run fine.

Nitto dune grapplers seem like they might do well, but I've only come across them in vanity sizes so who knows.

 Vanity sizes lol!

I wheel on the sand daily lol. I live right on the coast. Bfg a/ts do awesome along with any other at. Key is to air down. You want alot of contact area so like almost bald tsl's might work. Toyo m/t tires do great also.

stay away from those, purely road tire. it digs pretty bad

a mild mud terrain like the old bfg's do well aired down. the best Ive seen are bfg a/t's in the dunes just nothing to aggressive you want to float over the sand even an aggressive mud terrain aired down will dig. if you have the power paddles work nice but a Little ruff on the street.

Iroks or the new goodyear mtr

Generally an aired down AT's or Street tread.  And yes wider is better.

On a light truck like a Yota the old BFG MT's were of for me.  I ran them on a few rigs and never got stuck in the sand.  I ran 7-12 psi depending on the rig.

I used to tow my toy hauler up a wash that was very soft sand in most places, granted this was an F350 towing a trailer very different than a Toyota but the old BFG muds aired down a bit worked awesome better than the AT's for me anyway.  Not sure how the new style MT will work but the Pro comp MT is pretty close to the old BFG muds.  I hear good things about the Procomp AT in the sand as well.

great tire for a lower powered truck. if you got a V8 might as well go for the full paddles!!!

I ran 33's x 10.50 BFG KM2 on my Cherokee and it went every where through the dunes at Glamis and Pismo. They worked so well the I drove in 2wd through the smaller dunes just to have more fun. But I have been going to the dunes for 12 years now so I know how to drive through the sand. The key is  airdown to 7psi, momentum, play with the throttle, and you should rarely be wide open throttle.
