I just picked up another sand tire last night. A new, never mounted or used Turbo Paddle something or another, 110/100-18. Paid $10.
My only concern with this tire, or any paddle tire, is rear fender clearance. Are these things gonna bottom out against the rear fender at full suspension compression? My bike is 1" lower with dogbones so I worry about it.

I haven't put it on yet... will do that the week before we go. It should fit fine.
BTW what pressures do you guys recommend for tires on the sand? On my quad, I tend to run around 3 psi, but they're already low-pressure tires and tubeless. I'm guessing 10-12 psi f/r?

i just run my paddles like i would in the dirt but haven't run on a bike like this so idk how fast i can keep it going but my best guess would be air all the way and adjust doen until you like it

We're at the Oregon Dunes right now, and my son is running sand paddles on his KLX with the 351 big bore kit. No problems, he's been climbing right up the tallest dunes.
Once we get back home and I get my GoPro videos edited, I'll be posting them up, but probably won't get around to it before the weekend at the earliest...
