    Just the essentials and no extra fluff.
    They work better than wider tires on the sand, especially with lower pressure. Most of the increased footprint comes from an increase in contact patch length. More width just means more resistance to push through.

    Thanks for the info.

    I've done a little bit of research, and there's so many opinions on what's best/worst for different conditions and surfaces. It sometimes gets to the point of "I'll just stick to what I have." instead of trying something new and/or different.

    lol, yup. About all I see agreed on is large surface area (air down) and don't dig yourself in.

    Thinking about putting these tires on my bone stock ‘17 OR. Do they rub or should I just resort to 255 or 265s?
