View Quote We ran on the beach all the time. All of our CUCV tires were upgraded to 33"x12.50" tires (no lift required) they worked much better than the OEM "pizza cutters". Our older 5ton 6x6s were converted to super singles, they floated over the sand better than the 10.00X20s did when aired down. The HMMWVs in stock form did ok on the beach. |
