Default has anyone turned their stock front tires around backward on thier 4x4 for the dunes

when I am hill climbing the front tires dig like crazy and pull me up hills I won't make it up in 2wd. but looking at the tires they look like they would throw sand like crazy and dig even better if the left tire was on the right and vise versa. has anyone tried this ? could it hurt your tires?

Well for starters, Digging is part of your problem. The advantage to a good sand tire is floatation, you want to stay on top of the sand, not dig down into it.

You can try it, it wont hurt anything. but advantages, if any, will be slim. A good set a 22/11/10 skat trac haulers/w .125 wheels will do wonders.

I have 22x11x10 10 paddle extreme haulers but I know that my front tires pull me up many hills I cant make it up in 2wd I see that the stock titans look to have better traction in the opposite direction next time I go to the dunes I'm going to give it a try. I'll let ya know
