Can't go taller - Going wider

[JesseRohr]

Ah the wide verses narrow discussion
Wide creates more resistance in soft stuff, fact
Narrow verse wide when deflated makes virtually no difference because the length of the tread is what creates floatation not width.
There is plenty of science backed and actual comparison tests on the net so do your own research
Wide looks way cooler and better for pulling the chicks when cruising the mall…

There was no discussion as I laid out my needs at the beginning of the thread that taller wasn't an option due to restraints.

Would wider whether inflated or deflated not offer more of a contact patch from the beginning? Perhaps not a game changer in sand but clay/mud would probably offer an advantage?

But you want to go wider to get better performance off road…
Wider off road is worse not better, you mentioned really soft sand, go lower pressure, soft stuff I go straight to 15 psi front and 18 rear, if it’s really soft I then go down from there and drive accordingly, that’s in a fully kitted out touring room g that weighs over 3 ton
If really soft is a regular thing go a set of bead locks and you will be better off
If your hellbent on wider as many are ask yourself why and I bet it’s because you think it looks better if you’re honest with yourself, each to their own
I go function over everything else, especially looks
