I can't decide what to run on the fronts, ITP dune stars, Mohawks or ribs.
Do all these come in a 27"x9x12 ?

I tend to prefer the buffs, because they ride smoother and don't track. Don't have experience with the Dune stars or the mohawks, but we have good luck with the ribs as well. And yeah they're 27x9x12

i tried the Doonz fronts and hated the. every little rut and track the tires followed it. I also could not drift my sxs around without fear of rolling it.

I am going with smoothies when i buy sand tires.

I have always ran my knobby tires up front so i have never had a pure sand tire on the front. They work because I like running in 4wd. Will any of the tires pull better than others?

smoothies pull awesome in 4wd , better I would say then knobbies or ribbed , they float u want to float no digging , and the actual buff part of the tire acts like a traction pad for the sand , smooth molded tires slide and less grip

This is what I've heard over and over.

The old timers used racing slicks before paddle tires were invented.

I have also heard that about the buff's but I have also heard they dont turn well. So your car will push more,is that true? That's why was thinking of ribs or mohawks.

Use a little effin finesse while turning in sand. Setup turn, weight transfer(turn opposite of intended direction) , crank the wheel back, then mash the go pedal and drift.

I run the ITP on my Commander, and I like them. They will throw sand if your digging in. I can really tell in the pull in 4wd. they turn well without the pushing.

Yes the buffs are not so much a turning tire, but when you're mashing on the gas, who cares! No, but really I don't see a problem with our buffs when turning. Yeah they don't like to turn when you're going slower but it pays off when you're really duning

Wait times are increasing!

I can tell you the tires James got for me were amazing. The smoothies were bad ass in the dudes last weekend and the blasters hooked up like a large mouth bass on a critter jig.

Go with the buffs or 3 rib. The Mohawks will catch and throw you over. Plus they get caught up in the ruts.

Buffs pull in 4wd and steer just fine.

The buffs are the direction I'm leaning because like you said, in 4wd they will turn fine.
So most likely going to get the 26" blasters with 27" front buffs
