22s on 37s on the beach?

[Minty JL]

I bought a Go Pro Hero 10 for the trip. Hopefully posting vids up later on.

We were going back from Duck with out the freedom panels and doors.......in the rain; it felt amazing; almost like my Army days in a stripped M998 HMMV going to the field

I had 305/45r22's on a Duramax diesel once upon a time. I had zero issues airing them down and pulling a 15,000lb toy hauler out onto the dunes. This was a total street tire, IIRC it was a Toyo Proxes STII. I even went and mobbed it around in the dunes some Side hilling and a little trail action (no problems). I was kinda expecting some as that tire and wheel combo had very little meat to it, but I had to know how it would do. Pretty sure I was down to 12-15 psi. Getting around in the sand is all about airing down until you see that perfect bulge to the tires sidewall.

Well got her out there today, all I can say is wow totally amazed on how it performed. Aired down to only 29psi and I almost think I could’ve been fine not even airing down. It was great will have to do it again with doors off. Sorry Minty I figured I’d just see you out there pulled up to a green wrangler but it wasn’t you??‍

Last year, high tide was almost to that house. It was wide enough for one vehicle. That beach changes every year.

Interesting. Thanks.

There is a beach in SC and in South GA full of old stumps and driftwood.

Love this thread! Playing in the sand is a nice change from trails and the rocky stuff. Been to Oceano dunes a couple times in recent pst. Got 13.5 wide tread I’d say not much need to air down but can say it makes a difference. 20 is good but last time think I went 15. Nobody here mentioned how much sand gets everywhere. Having just the top off had sand in my everything.

It's always fun to see beach photos, @JustinLentz that is a gorgeous photo. You should put that on your wall.

@Minty JL, wish I was there instead of the heat in AZ. Give me a fishing pole and I'll be all set.

Minty sorry we missed each other ? but I did appreciate the offer for the pass. We had other family here as well it wouldn’t be fair for us to just ditch ‘em ??. But I did drive on there a few more times and it was awesome?? Can’t wait to come back, good thing we’re from VB only a couple hours away. Here a little video

Yeah got home around 11am or so today. Pressure washed the gladiator after unloading some stuff. Really wanted to hit the undercarriage as soon as possible. Have yet to vacuum out the inside it got too hot outside, but damn sand is all over the place? all worth it!

Yeah this is the coolest week in OBX we've ever had. Got home and it was 87*

There’s driving in the sand and then there’s driving in sand. If that is typical of the sand at that beach that’s hard packed and a Prius could likely drive on it.

I thought you were talking about typical soft loose potentially deep sand which is a whole different animal and you definitely want to air down and preferably not have 20”+ wheels

At OBX. The sand is hard packed at the water's edge. Get close to the dunes, it's really soft.
