i'm going to little sahara next weekend. i've got some paddles for the rear. i still have my stock fronts, but also have some radials. would the radials do fine on the dunes? i would figure they would do ok, since they're slick, but i'm not sure. any help would be appreciated.

i like mine, but they tend to dig real hard and sometimes grab better than you want. i have no problems though. stock tires arent going to help you any more except theyt are a little taller and more forgiving when rolling over things like shrubs or the unexpected sand stone rocks.

Your stock tires would be much better. Radials have too hard a sidewall for the dunes and would dig which is what you don't want.

Yep..They really arent tall enough either, and too narrow...any soft sand you will be better off with them in the air...try some skat trak mohawks \/
