Sand Tires Unlimited Padla Trak Tires 13.00 x 15 No.2
For years I've been asked, "what size sand tires are best for my vehicle?" It's important to realize that there are TWO major factors in choosing the correct tire for your vehicle. The first is obviously the amount of horsepower and torque that you have. But the second, less obvious, is the amount of wheel travel you have. Often times people will build vehicles with tremendous wheel travel which requires a large diameter tire, BUT the engine and transmission they choose aren't strong enough to carry this load.
If your vehicle has too much wheel travel and too small of a tire, when you launch the vehicle and come down on a hard landing, you're going to bottom out the vehicle on the ground. If you buy the correct diameter tire to compensate for your wheel travel and don't have enough horsepower and torque to turn the tires, then you're going to have a miserable time in the dunes with your engine bogging down.

Front Sand Tires:
For front sand tires, you're going to need to know if the tire will rub your car when you turn all the way left or all the way right. If you don't have tires yet, turn your steering wheel all the way to one side. Measure from the center of the spindle towards your chassis and double that dimension. For example, if from your spindle to your chassis you have 15" then a 30" diameter tire is going to rub the side of your vehicle and you'll need something smaller in diameter or you're going to have to limit your turning radius.
