Question P285/50R20 on deep-sand

[3abadi]

Greetings,

I have a SUV equiped with Goodyear P285/50R20 111h M+S tires. I do ocasional off-roading, say once a month for couple of hours. Would these tires be ok or would I be damaging them or getting stuck in deep sand?

I know these are not off-road tires, but as I say, I just need them to do couple of hours of deep sand dunes kinda weekend fun.

Regards.

How about the Nitto Terra Grapplers or Cooper Zeon LTZ?

You will not damage the tires (unless you hit something sharp ) but you might get stuck. Sand driving is all about momentum and not spinning the tires if you are stopped. (ie don't dig holes) If you have a capable vehicle accompanying you and use good sand driving practices you will likely be fine have a good time.

Since it is a planned trip one weekend a month, if you have room to store extra tires, consider buying some very wide paddle type tires that you would only use on those weekends.
