So I like to go out n have fun on the beach from time to time.. and I take the celi. Heres the issue... loose sand = getting stuck EASY. I want to be able to keep up with my buddies trucks, though, at least untill they have to get into 4wd...
I know about lowering the tire pressure (a secret im gonna keep from them lol) to get 2-3x more traction. I have been looking at rally tires and have come across a few choices to help even more... but mostly just gravel and mud tires. So which do yall think would be better in sand? Gravel tires:  Mud tires:

you should make this a poll. anyway my vote goes to mud tires because they have more horizontal tread blocks (according to the pic) which will pull the car better in loose terrain. and get the biggest and widest tires you can fit.
