I'd say the sand paws, since they can move more sand

Sand paws for sure. I've used up about 6 sets they work great in sand and snow. I've used them in the mashed potato mud just watch out for the rooster tails.

Another good tire would be these.

I run the Panther paddles on my sand buggy. They are a great tire.

You gotta get the right tire that'll work with your powerplant. BIG paddles that move allot of sand with a slower RPM and your stuck. Little paddles with a higher RPM will be slower.

Sand paws offer better traction in corners as the paddles are staggered.
