I just wanted to say really quick how impressed I was taking the 1000 out on the sand with stock knobby tires. Thing grabbed like crazy and never had any issues climbing hills and cutting banks. This was on very soft sand at Sandlake, OR. So if your wondering if dirt tires are ok on sand, go for it you wont be mad. I aired the fronts to 9psi and the rears to 7psi. Right now im not in a huge rush to get paddles now.
