I am looking to buy some sand tires for my jeep, but i am not sure where to get them. I am looking for the balloon like desert tires you see on Nissan Patrols a lot. These things are the king of the desert, but i can't seem to find them. Also i have heard things about locals not liking you having the tires if you are not local. Has anyone else heard of this problem?

They look like the picture...

Thanks!

Nah thats just a big load BS. Since you have a Jeep I assuming you have 15" wheels. Pretty hard to get them in that size but not impossible, they are ok in the sand but far from being the king, but not the best also remember you will pretty much loose almost all control on wet roads and unless you have lifted your jeep they will pretty much rub on your fenders on full compression

You can also look into Sumitomo Shaheens they also have radial sand tyres. As for where to get them just go past Sahara Center on your way to Sharjah and you will tons of shops selling tyres and rims.

Thanks a lot, that was a great help. I already realized that the tires would rub, but i was looking into lifting it as well. You mention the radial version of them, i am going to assume being radial that i won't have the problem with rubbing? Also being the same tire design would i still expect the lack of control? This jeep would still remain a daily driver and just a desert car on the weekends, so i would like to still have confidence in the car. What tire would you recommend? Even though i have never had ANY problems with stock tires, i just want to mess with something new.

**Than again i may just opt for some 31 BFGs with 16 inch rims
