Need to replace the standard tires on the 250, which are useless. Buggy is used 90% of the time on soft beach sand the rest on hard packed tracks. The buggy won't even move off in some places without just digging itself a hole in the sand, never mind climbing anything! I think I need to go wider but what trad pattern/brand would you recommend?
Buggy has usual mods: 17g Sliders/variator/clutch/uni, so the power is OK.

Thanks for the help.

Cam.....Good to hear from you.

If you are consistently riding on sand then you may need to go with sand paddles. This will help get the machine going as long as you don't a too aggressive tread.

I like the Pro Wedge II tires on my Yerf. They work on sand and dirt and unlike paddles are not directional. Maxim makes a similar tire but I am not sure whether either one has a size for 10" rims.

I strongly recommend "Turf Tamers" I did a lot of testing on our 08 250. Don't run paddles you don't have the power to spin them. We tested 2 different types of paddles and all they did was dig holes.

With the Turf Tamers you won't need to change tires. Air up in hard pack and air down to about 4-6 psi in soft sand.

We ran all over Glamis this way and didn't have any trouble.

Just remember to pick good lines you don't have the power you need to climb out.

I have ordered a set of Zippers from Glade, so I'll give them a try and see how we go.

Thanks,
Cam

If anybody is riding in these conditions, get the 23"
mudlites from Glade, this 250 pulled right through this
stuff, because of those kind of tires.

At pismo beach I aired down my stock joyner tires and put them on backwards and was able to get though the soft stuff and even into the deep dunes a bit.

The backwards trick made a significant difference in the soft sand.
