For the front, you'll float right over with slick. As for rear I like somewhat of a center rib, but paddle tire is a must.

Michelin starcross sand 4 tire for the rear would be pretty good. I'm not to sure about the front, I don't do enough sand riding to swap off my tires between woods and sandy tracks, so I usually run what ever I have on the rim unless I'm trying to be competitive.

I don't ride sand tracks, but I'm just thinking a mud tire would be fit the bill.

I can't answer your question but pay close attention to what the tire manufacturers are saying with regards to their tires. Some rate their tires has "hard, intermediate, and soft" while other rate them by terrain "hard, intermediate, and soft". Obviously, this is 180 degrees opposite as you want a soft tire on hard terrain and a hard tire on soft terrain.

Just passing along the obvious. I've wasted a lot of time and money before I figured that one out.

A hard tire on soft terrain?  :-

That never worked out good for me. Except for that time when i ran slicks...
