4x4 for the beach

[cowie69]

Morning gents, I am looking for a 4x4 to use purely for getting on the beach to remote fishing areas, so will be over some soft and firm sand and pebbles. I don't want to spend more than £2000, thanks for any suggestions

Are you using public rights of way or do you have an easement to permit access to these areas?

Tidal sands are very easy places to get stuck and subsequently lose your vehicle...

It's public rights of way mate and i know things can change but the area in question has firm sand all along its length and iknow how the tide comes in these areas 👍

Right guys, have just took ownership of a suzuki grand vitara,in great nick, just had it down the beach last night and apart from one really soft patch of sand which bogged it down till put it in low gear it flew out, its got normal tyres fitted right now, but want to change them out for AT tyres with an emphasis on sandy ground being majority of where it will be used, any recommendations for tyres?

cheers

Cheers guys, please forgive a total learner to 4x4 driving here but the tyres you have mentioned, are they still ok for road use, although am sure more car with driving style is required,it's about 10 miles normal drive till I get to the beach. Is there a site you guys use for purchasing your tyres? blackcircle, mytyres? etc
