Sorry I didn't reply. I don't find I ride in that much sand here it is sandy, but most of my trails are hard packed sand. There are probably loose sand trails nearby, but not where I have been riding. I wound up buying some Kozmik Lite II Pros and they have been working out well. I may branch out to the surrounding area where I may find I need a sand tire and if so I'll have to put some on my second set of wheels.
