...and this is why I am running Mickey Thompson Baja MTZ tires! Imagine that, except you're pulling 6,000# behind you! Been there, done that! LOL

Never tried em in sand?


Usually you want a good tire like a TSL and you lower the PSI down to about 15 psi so you get a very large track pattern.

The more you move the deeper you get. Sure makes a hell of a rut to fill when you're pulled out too!

Sounds like exactly what I was driving in. If anything, tires had to much traction, no that doesn't sound right. Problem was driver hit the gas to hard, spun all four tires and spit out the grass and sod that was holding me up. No ruts, no tracks to rock it back and forth, so down I sit on the diffs and frame.

This is what I was trying to get. It was pretty soupy under the turf.

I'm sure it was an option, just like the cut off hair gel can on the stack. ;]
