best tires to pull through soft sand???

I'm looking into buying a 2wd full-size truck (because i can only spend about 8-9k and cant afford a decent 4x4) and curious to what tires pull the hardest through sugar soft sand in 2wd? preferably without having to lift it at all. thanks in advance.

the widest tires you can fit with the widest tread blocks you can find.

I've got a 2001 Isuzu double cab pick-up 2wd and I dropped the beast 2 inches and run 18" centrelines with 265/35X18 on the rear and 245/40X18 on the front. Never been stuck on wet sand with such wide rear tyres, wouldn't try the dry sand though.
