    I’ve always had K02’s. But I’m open to other suggestions. I do a lot of Desert and Dry dirt road driving and frequent trips to the Beach. Snow and Ice would be rare.

    For now I'm looking at a 265/75/r16 Tire. I may consider going up to the 285 but I don't have a lift yet and I honestly don't know if and or when I'll get one.

    No first hand info on these two but these two So. Cal companies (Camburg uses General Grabber X3) and (Gen Right promote Mickey Thompson Baja Boss MT) both Co. do a lot of rocky, sandy desert running.

    I actually love that tread design on the Baja Boss. I don't seem to hear much about Mickey Thompson these days. I wonder why. Those look like good tires.

    Eee the Baja Boss M/T Comes in sizes a little too wide and big in 16". The Baja Boss A/T looks promising too

    Thinking of going with 265/75/16. I don't have a lift yet but if I do it would just be a 2" or so. I prefer some fender gap vs stuffing them with biggest tire i can.

    265/75r16 is a good size. Any all terrain will work if you can air it down to 15-20 in the sand.

    This. Airing down is key. Avoid MT tires as they dig instead of “float” on the sand
