I just found a trail real close to my house but it was made more for motorcycles and alot of it's sandy. Any suggestions?
intuition would tell me wide with knobs in a "paddle" pattern


problem is mud tires will probably be narrow.

you might try azonic vigilante. https://www.universalcycles.com/shop...4&category=453

they are wide and very light. i would think width would be more important than tread pattern or you will be up all night searching for knob layouts. everytime you think you found a good sand pattern it will probably be narrow.

maybe another person on here knows of sand specific tires, but i don't.
