*** You read my mind, Coffee*** And this, my friends, is why trials tires work well in the sand. Iv'e been saying it all along, but not as clearly nor as conscisely as Mike just did. Trials tires ride on top of the sand and do not dig themselves into a hole. Now, would I run a trials tire specifically to go adventuring in nothing but sand dunes for miles on end? No. But they work great for a 2-week trip through the sands of UT. WoodsChick
mike great write up....i have always been very geographically aware and always wonderered about that whole belt of dunes that intersect the border.
