My rails rear dirt tires are 10.5 x31 x 15 and very aggressive tread. Hansk has used them on his buggy in the sand with a 1600 and the tires got him around real well. On the front just stock skinny bias ply's. For the dunes I have Paddles and when I had the 1600 it pushed them pretty good! Try the Sand you'll like it! We're going down for spring break again with friend's, come on down!
