Tires (again).


Yes....if you can point to me the previous post(s) about this subject...if not:

I have a Dodge Ram 1500. 2wd. I want to drive in the sand to move a 14 ft Gregor Aluminum Fishing Boat over sand areas.

......I dont have a clue about tires.

The current tires are: Mastercraft 275/55r20 117t extra load. Will these work well if I reduce tire pressure? If not....I need specs for correct tires.

Thanks in-advance for the help!




Old people are like the old cars, made of some tough stuff. May show a little rust, but good as gold on the inside.

2wd, sand, trailer/boat? sounds like a disaster waiting to bite you when you least expect it. depends where you want to launch and what tides. low tide you may be able to haul asss across the soft stuff onto the hardpack. high tide you get buried and drown.....

whatever you do, AIR DOWN ALL TIRES.

Good luck sad 2x4 are not very good pulling in the sand. You can air down and get through but when you start moving don't stop. Then you will need a 12v compresser to bring the tire back to a road presser or you will brake the side walls.
