I scowered the forum for my answer before I chose to post. However, most tire posts seem to catered to moded trucks or with substantial lift. I have a 2005 SWB Patrol S (Y61) with no engine mods or lift whatsoever. Can someone recommend the best tires for sand use?

probably an allterrains without an overally agressive tread pattern.

with stock lift u can fit some 33's ..

so with your 16" rims i would go 305/70/16 which are bit wider or the 285/75/17

would those 305s fit on my current rims? I'm currently running 265s on a 16 inch Mickey Thompson rim. I don't really want to buy new rims. Mucho dinaro.

I run them on a 16x8" rim on a LWB Y61. Have a look here: http://www.outerlimits4x4.com/viewtopic.php?t=105868

What offset are your rims?

I'd go for a 265/75 and maybe a tyre like the ATZ.

run 33s no probs with 2" lift

for sand i would probably go a A/T

went with these: Yokohama Geolander 275*70*16 A/T

they look pretty good on the sand. These were the biggest I could fit without rubbing. I don't want a lift, or rather don't need one in the desert; the Patrol has plenty of clearance for crests.

Thanks for all your comments.

Do you need to fit flares to cover them?

In Australia the cops would crucify you. LOL

btw Nice Y61 shorty.

You've probably made 20 grown men cry over here.
