Do the sand tires need to be changed to another type, if the vehicle will be on pavement, (because they would wear fast or are noisy)?
Sand tires are for soft sand and have a smooth, large footprint, almost the same as street tires, therefore, the wear is minimal. They handle great and are very quiet on the street. The tires you are referring to are mud or agricultural tires, which wear quickly on the street and are very noisy, but work great in muddy terrain.
