You probably mean "fatter" or "wider" tires in the front?
I run non-stock tires all around ... but they're taller and narrower than stock. Narrower is certainly not what you want in the sand (less flotation), but the larger diameter of my tires may reduce the tendency to "dig in" or "plow" in the sand.
Probably the ultimate sand tire is one with a large diameter combined with a wide as possible tread footprint.
Of course airing-down increases the tread footprint, but unfortunately it also reduces the tire's instantaneous vertical diameter - which is not good from a digging in or plowing perspective.
