I'm putting forward a theory here and anyone can respond. I'm ok with being wrong.
This was my tread pattern on an ex-army Land Rover I took to Fraser on my honeymoon. The tyres are 7.50R16 or 190.5/100R16 if you prefer metric. If the car had Army bar treads I'd have taken them so I'm not arguing the logic of it only the outcome.
We ran about 16psi, soft sand and hard. We were towing a trailer.
No bogging, no spinning.
I don't think lack of aggressive tread is an issue in sand: assuming its not dune buggy racing.
The theory: low pressure (long footprint) is everything on sand regardless of tread.
