Actually aired down just a little they do great, I wouldn't have gone through the trouble of buying an extra set of tires just for the beach, especially on such a light vehicle. I've ran up and down the coast on them in 2wd fully aired up, only putting it in 4wd when I start off so I don't dig down and create ruts for others to hit and shifting back out when I am moving. I aired them down to about 25psi when I spent a week in Carova, hardly hitting the pavement once and they barely made an impression on the sand. But the quiet on the trip down would probably make it worth it.
