Default Sand tire for Raptor

I have an 02 Raptor with slip on pipe k&n pro flow no lid and 4 in. ext. rejetted. My question is what is the sand tire I Need?
I had a set of sand devil but sold them the last trip to the dunes. I mostly drag but like to play too. If anyone can help, what kind and size and is 22 in tire too big?

I run 22x11x8 skat trak haulers, I even still have on the heel guards, no problems. The tall tire is better for climbing, however I still think they do alright turning.

The taller the tire, the longer the scoop stays in the sand. Meaning a 22" 8 paddle will have more traction than a 20" 8 paddle. If you're going with a 22" Hauler, anymore than 8 paddles will be too much. I'm currently running a 22x11x8 8 paddle on my 727, and I wish I had gotten a 7 paddle. It takes too much effort to break them loose.

I have ITP sandstars on 10 inch rims and they worked great, but I just play around, not a racer or anything.

I was looking at those but didn't know how well they would do in the drag
