Correct tire size for driving truck camper on the beach
Looking to purchase a Dodge Ram 2500 truck. The size of these tires that are on the truck are 245/70SR17.0E Will that be sufficient for hauling a truck camper on the beach? Thanks

Right on, man! I've seen a lot of rigs on the beach that I considered not to have a chance, but with the right driver, not so much weight, and the right floatation almost.....anything is possible. Baja, 1975, near San Felipe, some Mexicans in a 1950 Chevy pickup with a broken distributor cap. This was the one thing we could not help them with. The fact that they got this overloaded 2WD truck through sand and rocks is a testament to their technique.
With varying textures, tire pressure on beaches like this one south of San Felipe are a challenge: We actually turned around and found another way around this spit:
