Seems more 30" out there than 32" due to the 15" wheel issue. Ran with NitrousNick and his XRS does very well with the 30" version. I went skats as the price of the CST's and wheels is not much less than the skats on stock hims.

I have the 32' on wheels with zero offset and had them out in the Oregon Dunes south of Florence last Saturday (first time)
If you know the Oregon dune sand, it is nothing like Glamis, the sand is very fine and feels almost 'greasy'.
The rears hook up well, but could use a little more paddle; once going the tire performs well and will not roost the guy behind you.
And most of all, the tires are very comfortable at 10psi, but still very responsive slinging around the bushes and trees :)

I have the 32" on 15x7 non-beadlock rims. I ran them at 6 psi at Glamis.
I like them. They work better than Big Horns and I also got a smoking deal on them.
With the Evo Stage 3 power the car wants to go sideways on dirt or sand, so I will probably not cut off the little knobbies.
I am a novice duner so my opinion carries little weight.

Where did you get the smoking deal?

Do you have beadlocks? Do you feel that the tire roll was a non-issue at 6 psi? The carcasses are rather stout but I got chicken to run them lower than 8 psi with non-beadlock wheels. But I wanted to.

They are mounted on non-beadlock wheels and I detected no issues like tire roll.

The smoking deal was available at the SSSS or the Off Road Expo.

I just bought a set of the 32's, I hope to get out to the dunes soon. They are on 7" wheels and they look better then I thought they would, even on a narrow wheel the rears didn't dome up much

Just asking, but aren't the front tires backwards? Shouldn't the points be facing forward, for less drag? Maybe it's the pic?

I run my front tires "reversed" . I was told They have the potential to grab more while turning and catch an edge. So I have only ran the, that way. I plan on trying them out next trip with the ribs facing forward to see if I can tell a difference.

I'm running the CST 32" on 15" 5x2 HD4 non-bead locks on all 4 corners. My car is the max, and I'm very impressed on how my car works with them. I went back and forth, like other on what set of paddle to run. I to was looking at Skats, cause that what I had on my old 14'max. But I fell into a great deal from a friend that only bought them just for one dune trip. I paid $800 wheels & tire one trip. I'm running them with 12lbs on the front and 10lbs rear cause the Max is a little heavier car. So having to keep the front end up on these longer car, the 15"wheels help. I have done the shock adjustment setup too 15 1/2". My car is all stock expect for the cat delete, I didn't notice any power loss or lag when getting on the gas. they were a big improvement over the big horn, and they are weight wise lighter then the stock big horns. So for me it was the money saving over what everything else.

I just measured the diameter of my CST 32" Sandblast tires on 15x7 rims front and rear at 6 psi.
I measured both tires at the carcass, excluding the paddles on the rear tires and hooks on the front tire.
The rear measured 32.375 = 100.7" circumference and the front measures 31.875 = 100.1" circumference.
I should mention that CST calls for a wider rim in the rear, which may reduce the diameter a little to match the front.

Is it undesirable to have a larger roll out in the rear than the front?
Usually it's the other way around, right?
Should I try to compensate with air pressure?

I have already used the tires at Glamis and I didn't notice anything, so I am thinking it doesn't matter in the sand as long as the diameters are close.

It’s mainly done from what I understand to keep the vehicle in 4wd as the bigger front tire tricks the machine a bit. I’m no expert but I’ve been told something along those lines.

How did you measure the roll out? I have 32's CST's as well.
I haven't seen a compass large enough!
