Here's a quick vid of Ldub and Suzie in the sand on Poison Spider Mesa (Moab '09). The sand was SUPER fine and Dub is running Nitto Mud Grapplers which are very chunky and probably acted more like paddle tires.

There where a few others out there whooping it up in the sand and no one seemed to have a problem with it.
