What tires for sand?

I have a '98 z50r thats mostly stock. I'm trying to find a 8" tire other than the stockers that will work better for me in the sand. My dealer says that he can only find the stock ones.

They look good on your ride, Neil... A very nice looking bike you have there.

I don't have that '92 any more, I sold it last fall to a friend for his 6 year old son. The little guy rides it daily, and loves it.

Snow Hogs are great. At $20 a tire, you can't beat them for offroad use.
