Driving on the beach
Here in the Boston area we can drive on the beach with vehicles suitably equipped at the Cape Cod National Seashore. I’ve heard that some modification to the steering/suspension is needed for driving in sand. I’m upgrading my 7.5” tires to 265/75R16. Any advice on modifications I should do ?

Re: Driving on the beach
Mechanical. No modification at all.
Lowering the tire pressure will help and sometimes is mandatory in some places.
Please post some pictures when you go.

Just wash the underside really good if you are running on the edge of the surf.
