Any wide tire run at low pressure should do the trick. I used Vredenstein Killer Bees on Imana, they work well.

Any tyre - it is a 29er

 

Seriously though - any high volume knobbly tyre should be fine.

I think it's the same as with mud. Either a very high volume or a super skinny tyre will work. If the sand is not to deep the skinny tyre cuts through and grips on the ground underneath. I have a set of Bontrager Mud-X tyres for the 26er and they are very narrow but ride like a dream in mud.

ikons or killer bee

Pffft, who wants to ride in sand? I don't.

Found this on twitter yesterday....

I run 2.25 Nobby Nics front and back at as low a pressure as possible and they're awesome on all terrain, from tar to sand and loose rocky sections..

[D Vader]

2.35 Racing Ralph or Nobby Nick run nice and low ( depending on weight and other terrain) perhaps 1.1-1.2 front and 1.6-1.8 rear.

Remember to lock the front shock before hitting the sand or just lock it anyway. ( to prevent nosedive)
