Good sand knobby or a 19" rear wheel?

[TEEEE]

I'm racing in the WORCS Oceano Dunes Beach Race this October and they don’t allow paddle tires. All the good sand knobbies only come in 19” sizes, but I'm riding a KDX 200 with an 18" rear wheel. Anyone have ideas for a GOOD sand knobby in an 18” size or some way to run a 19” rear wheel on the ol' KDX?

Thanks,

How about a Michelin S-12? Pretty good all around soft terrain knobby. Comes in 18" size. Should be OK in the sand.

I've been quite happy with my Kenda Millville in the sand.

Or you could try one of these :laugh:

Pirelli MT44, available in a 120/100/18. A little big, but I've ran 120 Kenda's before with no problems. I don't know how Pirelli sizing matches up.

Sweet, I hadn't found that one. Big is good, my KDX will be working hard enough in the sand without a paddle. Thanks for the tip...

Kenda Milville 100/110-18 in the soft direction. Works great everywhere.
