I am soon to put on Riken tires (those re grooved car tires), and plan on going to Silver Lake this may. Will those tires make me do 15 254 498 unwanted nose wheelies a day(tryin to see how deep in the soft sand they can go), or will they be ok? I currently have Front Max 7" wide, but their sidewall isn't stiff enough (that's why I'm putting on the Riken).
The deal is that breaking the bead on the Front Max is an awful pain, and I don't want to play changing them twice in a week. So will there be a noticeable difference between the Front Max and Riken (floatation and turnability talking).

Thanks

You shouldn't have any problems. My friend does it all the time.
