Does anyone here use these tires to pull their toy hauler out into the sand?

Would I get stuck as soon as I pulled out in the sand, or would I have a chance of making it to a sand campsite?

My Toy Hauler is heavy, so I would imagine that will make it either better or probably worse. I'm not sure.

Here is a picture of the tire:



Thank you!

those tires work great in the sand...the key is to air down to about 15-17 lbs...you should have no problem.

where you goin camping??

I have two friends that have those on 20 inch wheels. They both got stuck in the sand with their toy haulers last weekend. However, they have Ford F250s and did not have the front hubs locked. So guess what kind of a truck got to tow them out?

Here in Florence, Oregon at a Sand Campsite. Florence only has a couple of campsites, so I'm thinking about camping on the sand.

I don't want to get stuck though.

Would Good Sam ERS tow me out if I got stuck? LOL :help2:

These tires didn't save me at Lake Shasta... LOL

That is what I get for backing into the lake with my WaveRunner trailer, right after the water level dropped 10 feet in 2 days. Should have used the boat ramp!
(Stupid, Stupid Stupid) At least it only cost me $40.00 to save me. Should of had Good Sams ERS...

I always air down truck and trailer to 12-15 lbs and have never gotten stuck. Tire design doesn't seem to matter as much as the air pressure does.

There are some tricks to parking with a trailer on sand:

Walk the area first. Silt (superfine sand) should be avoided.
You will want to park level or slightly downhill, NEVER uphill even a little bit.
Air WAY down. 15-20 PSI. This mean your trailer too. The object is to stay high on the sand, and never have to go uphill for 1" if avoidable.
Keep weight down if possible.
No sharp turns immediately before stopping.
Once moving, stay moving until you get to your spot. Do not hit the brakes to stop.
"Poor Man's Posi" - If you are 2WD and do not have a locker, apply your emergency brake about 1/2 way. This will resist having one tire spin, and thereby sinking. Spin is your enemy.
If you have equalizer bars, release them.
Bring wood, tow straps, air compressor, shovel, and a big jack.

We went to Winchester bay this year for dunefest.....had a great time and riding through the trees was alot of fun.....

Learn to drive the sand without the trailer before you even try it. The farmers around here have made good money at the lake with there old tractors pulling you guys and your big trailers to and back from the lake. All you have to do is spin your wheels once in some spots and your done. Pay attention to the moisture and how it affects the different spots. Some places will get harder with moisture and others just break and sink depending on the amount of silt in the sand. Also an automatic will give a smoother pull in places where the manuals just want to bounce.

all good info here from mcrat. I have been towing into sand out at glamis,sand mt, nv, big dune ,pismo and other places. the key is everthing mcrat said and always, always air down the trailer too. alot of people don't want to go to that trouble but it makes a huge difference. remember like some oldtimer said. 4x4 only lets you get stuck further away. everyone gets stuck at some point so be courteous to others so they will pull you when you get stuck. be cool

And get a C02 bottle/regulator for airing back up. Save's lot's of time if you don't have a big air compressor.
