I think you mean a 4x2, since a 2x4 is lumber.Anyway, I would scratch the Bandit off your list of options if sand is where you ride to any great extent. The tire has a very agressive tread pattern, excellent on hard pack & desert trails & some mud, but tends to dig holes in soft sand unless you stay on the gas all the time. I've run Bandits exclusively for quite some time but don't often ride in soft sand. However, I have heard of some riders who have reversed the Bandits with some degree of success in sand.

Well, I have Super Swamper TSL's on my Bayou220. They have been a great tire. Great ride on harpacked yet gives optimal mudding capabilities. BUT it all depends WHAT you ride and WHERE you ride and HOW you ride it(Muddin, or sporty)

i have trail wolfs on mine and it gets great traction on everything but mud where the just suck. they dont self clean and when u spin the tires in mud they get all gummed up and basically turn into a smooth, flat rounded tire. But since i guess you probably will be riding a bayou 220 from your other posts in the kawa forum. i would still go with them in the long run. If your looking for better front tires, get titan fast trekkers, they wear like a charm (bought and installed in january, still dont have noticible wear). Ok thats my 2 cents worth...
