Check what Conrad Stoltz did with his tyres for sand, or rather what his wife did

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

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.

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..

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)
