Yup, you gain more clearance by keeping that sand under you, than you lose
by reducing the rolling diameter of the tires.

The science freak in me is asking if anyone has figured out the load capacity
of sand before it squishes out to the sides. Doubtless the tire companies,
but I doubt they'd share that info. Oh well.
