Driving on sand is thrilling but you have to have the right tires or you’ll end up stuck.

One of the best perks of living in Delaware has to be the ability to drive on the beach. Now that summer’s here and the July 4 holiday is in sight, the beach offers even more allure to drivers.

But, before you head off-road onto sand, make sure your truck or car is equipped for the job or you won’t be scaling dunes, you’ll be digging yourself out of a sand pit. For proper equipment, start with your tires.

“Selecting the best tire for sand isn’t as cut and dry as you may expect,” fourwheeler.com says. “Just like there are many different types of snow, each requiring a different set of skills and equipment to successfully negotiate, so too are there many different types of sand. You’ve got loose, dry sand that can seem bottomless, moist and firmly packed sand that will easily support the weight of a vehicle, sand that tumbles at the normal 34-degree angle of repose, and other types of sand that can’t grip itself more than 15 degrees or that can exceed more than 44 degrees. In short, there’s no magic bullet when it comes to selecting the best tire for the sand.”

Fourwheeler.com suggests that, if you’re serious about driving in sand, then you’ll want to invest in at least one pair of paddle tires. Paddle tires have a smooth core with large rubber cups, or horizontal treads, on them (think of the paddle wheel on a riverboat). Paddle tires are specifically designed for driving in sand or mud and they come in various sizes with a “huge range of options  in regards to paddle size, shape, number, and aggressiveness.”

Fourwheeler.com says you should use paddle tires only on your rear axle and not on the front. Running them on the front increases your steering difficulty.

Another type of tire you should consider is a big, off-road balloon-type tire. These are super wide tires with deep tread to help you grip the terrain. You’ll want to get the widest tire you can find and run it at a low pressure, fourwheeler.com says.
