I'm planing a Trip to pismo beach, and i just bought some sand gekos for the back but i don't wanna spend on the front paddles, how bad would it be my stock front Dunlop's on the sand??can i get away with it?

U can definitely make it without the front sand tires, run a little bit more air pressure is what i do.

the fronts dont do much other than to look pimp status!... lol

serious... you can dune your fronts just the way they are... I did it for a bit... thats all we do SAND!!!!!!!!!!!!!! no dirt no nothing for us.

Pismo you can even roll your stock rears and have a damm good time!

then again between Geckos and stockers.... I would have to chose stockers.... take them and see for yourself... just mount them on backwards than what they say on the sidewalls... the way the tread is they will work better than the sand Geckos....

I have always wondered - do you ever get sand under your clothes and down in your boots? Seems like to me it would be very uncomfortable if it does.
