ATV Sand Tires

ATV Sand tires are highly specialized and shouldn’t be used for any other type of terrain. But while they wouldn’t do well on hard packed soils, they are incredibly effective on sand. Sand is soft and hard to gain traction on. That’s where the paddles on the tires come in. The paddles will dig into the sand like miniature shovels and send your wheeler hurtling forward in even the loosest sand. If you consider yourself a dune rider, we would say that these tires are a necessity. By adding sand tires to your wheeler, you’ll see unparalleled performance from your quad.

The paddles that you see on the tire are not the only way that these tires are specialized. They are also made to be exceptionally light. You’ll notice that the vast majority of our sand tires have a ply rating of 2. This is in an effort to keep them as light as possible, helping you stay on top of the sand rather than plowing through it.

You might have noticed that the front tires are fitted with a strip of tread that runs in a circle around the tire. This tread helps you gain traction and turn on the sand while screaming forward at breakneck speeds.

We have both tubed and tubeless options, so no matter what you prefer, we will have an option that will suit your needs. Our selection is nothing if not diverse, and we are confident that we will have the perfect tire for you.

If you have any questions, you can either check the product reviews or ask our professional opinion. We are happy to offer whatever insight we can. Once you have found what you need, place your order! The sooner you do, the sooner you’ll be able to see for yourself what these sand tires are capable of.

FAQs on Sand Tires

What are sand tires called?

Sand tires are often called paddle tires or sand-specific tires. They feature wide treads or paddle-like patterns designed to improve traction in loose sand. These tires are common on ATVs used for dune and desert riding. They work by pushing through the sand rather than cutting into it. This design prevents sinking and improves flotation.

What are the benefits of sand tires?

Sand tires improve traction and flotation in loose sand. They reduce the risk of getting stuck by distributing weight over a larger surface area. Paddle-style tires provide better acceleration and control on dunes. They also improve ride comfort by reducing digging into the sand. Overall, they make sand riding safer and more efficient.

What is the ideal PSI for sand tires?

The ideal PSI for sand tires is usually low, between 4 and 8 PSI. Lower pressure increases the tire’s footprint, improving flotation on soft sand. This reduces digging and improves traction. However, it’s important not to go too low to avoid tire bead separation. Always adjust based on weight, terrain, and riding style.

What type of tire is best for sand?

Paddle tires are the best choice for soft sand conditions. They have large scoops or paddles that push through sand rather than cutting into it. Sand-specific ATV or UTV tires are designed for deep dunes and loose surfaces. For mixed terrain, a good all-terrain tire with aggressive tread may work. Choosing depends on your riding environment and needs.

Can all terrain tires go on sand?

Yes, all-terrain tires can be used on sand but aren’t ideal for deep dunes. They work better on firm sand or mixed terrain. Their tread pattern is a compromise for different surfaces rather than specialized sand traction. Lowering tire pressure can improve their performance in sand. For dedicated sand riding, paddle tires are usually superior.
