I have 20k miles on these tires, and the front tires still look brand new...can't say that about the rear tires anymore. Couple minutes of fun means lots of tread life is not gone.

I'd up that to 'Don't do donuts - with any tires you'd like to keep....'

Note to self: Don't walk barefoot on sand near iMTB's place.

That's just added traction.

You should see our M/T R's from off roading.
Same sort of little chunks ripped out of the lugs.

That couple of minutes of fun always comes back to bite ya.
So was it worth it now that you see what it did to the tires ? :wink:

Thats what happens when you put tires through something they were not designed to do. Reminds me of people complaining about blowing a sidewall offroading while using non offroad tires...

In FL the sand usually has lots of coquina. It's not good for tires.

Well the Castillo De San Marcos was all coquina-it's like concrete almost.

I've done donuts in the dirt/grass here with my Terra Grapplers-no issues.

I expect it seemed like a good idea at the time :lol:

I've been to very few beaches like that here. Only few only a certain spot is that that. Where the high traffic is its mostly soft sand

Gandy is pretty rough. It's my escape beach. Sand there can be sharp, cut my pups foot:

Mine are relatively bald from doing donuts. I only do donuts in the snow now.

Don't do donuts with duratracs.
