Tyres for sand / all terrain

Hi All

Just wondering if anyone has any recommendations for tyres specifically for sand and trails. Going to Morrocco later on this year and whilst the stock tyres seem to be pretty decent, I think I'll need something more specialised for the dunes. I'm running the stock 17" rims. Cheers.

definately Grabber AT2
Did Morrocco 18 months ago in a FL1, anything more agressive will dig in when on sand.
The trip involved a lot of driving in regions with ignious rock. this tends to damage side walls.
Take a spare innertube, although not reccommended for driving in the UK it will get you home.

I was having a little fun at speed, shredded one rear and bent one of the front alloys, two spare wheels and an innertube were a god send.

You will have fun showing the heavy weights how to drive on soft sand Very Happy Tangiers Orange - gone, missing her

Cheers Andy. I knew I needed something not especially aggressive, but bearing in mind the terrain response wondered what people would recommend. I have a defender with maxxis mudders on it for green laning which are amazing for mud and snow, but definitely not right for sand.

Would be interested in what people have used on F2's
