Haha, usually ass mode works!

Have you considered trading for a Jeep Grand Cherokee? Preferable with the air suspension and the diesel. ;D

Question is... will they give you enough for the sport. I really want a Jeep GCS but I'm afraid I'll miss the speed of the sho.

I have some experience in sand and usually releasing some tire pressure to about 25 would make a huge difference. The tire would look a bit flat though. Try it and it will work. However, have an air pump ready when you're done cause driving on asphalt with that pressure is extremely dangerous.

Cheers!

yes we go on the beach all the time i usually would run 21 psi in my old expi (i miss her) never once got stuck as a matter of fact i was the guy pulling every1 out ....Figure we would down size to explorer sales man assured me that it would go through anything i thro @ it lol fail...But the jeep is out of reach the grand cherokee v8 with 30k down would b 500$ month payment lmao....People are suggesting a tire change i guess i will try that before i toss a match...

If you keep the sport and still get stuck you could try different wheel/tire combo. Maybe a 19" with more sidewall and better tred.

I want to change the tire but not the rims I was looking at the toyo at2...

 

[Spartn27]

Don't those wheels come with performance tires?

I think swapping tires would definitely make a difference, depending on how often are you in the sand I would get the most aggressive tire possible for off-roading. If you're looking for a all-season tire I have the Toyo Proxes 4 Plus and they work great in Michigan winters.

Need a video of you being stuck.  If tires are moving but car not moving, you h ave a traction issue.  If not able to send power to wheel(s) that have traction, then the system sucks.

How many tires were spinning?

 

[wasinger3000]

I think you need some different tires.

They use the same system on all explorers. I'd say you should try different tires.

Speaking Russian it sounds like.

That vidoe shows how slippery those tires are off road.

 

[QuickSilver]

I had what they are saying in the vid translated, he said "try the mud/snow setting" ;D

I don't think those are the stock tires, tread blocks are pretty big.
