Default Best tires for Utility Quad in sand?

I've been running my Brute Force 750 at the dunes with my 26" ITP 589 tires. Since I haven't tried any other tires I'm wondering if these are helping or hurting me. They are aggressive almost like a paddle but very heavy also.

If you don't have a legitimate sand paddle set, the best to run is your stock tires. You are losing a lot of performance with the 589's. Especially in the sand. If you want to run paddles, get you some 25" Skat-trak Extremes.

Don't know what your stock tires are on that machine, but on many machines the wimpy stock tires aired way down work well. Trouble is they probably are on heavy stock rims.

your stock tires like said will probally work best. But if you want some paddles get some paddle masters. You can run them in snow or mud if you want also. But ifyou dont want that maxxis sur tracs on aluminum rims work great to

The stock wheels on the Brute Force are aluminum and only weigh about 6 lbs.

Oh sorry, my wrong. The wheels for the Prairie and the Brute 650 are aluminum, so I just assumed that the 750's would be also. You know what they say when you assume... [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-wink.gif[/img]

On my Eiger I turn the 589s around backwards and it makes a difference plus air them down, way down.

I am looking for paddles tires for my Brute Force to run in the sand. It does not look like many chioces if I want to stay with 12" wheels. Other than skat-trak and GBC paddle master. Does anyone know of other options? Is anyone running the skat-trak? If so how many paddles? If you had to do it over would you go more or less or the same? Has anyone ran the GBC on the sand?
