Best tire for floating through sand and deep mud?

I know a atv is completely different when it comes to hitting a monster hole or some quick sand in the creek.
Is there a tire out there that will float a s/s through a monster hole.
This new place I found to ride is crazy deep holes (I should put a prop on the back)
They are anywhere from 2 to 5 foot deep and I am trying to find some way to make it through.

Nice. And going through the creek sand they don't dig bad. And before you jumped off in the water like that what all did you do to the rzr. Like run vent lines change the slit hose.... What all besides the snorkel

Yep ran vent lines to the top with the other intakes, also changed out slit hose and connected to a K&N apollo cold air intake that is mounted directly below the roof line now. Electrolic greased every electrical connection on the thing. Also put a drain plug in the CVT housing then put black silicon around the whole housing.(Be very carefull not to get any inside the seal area its a real B%#&ch to get off if it gets in there.) greased over the weep hole. And the most important thing i did was mount me two beer holders on the dash so my beer wouldnt float off as easy. Thats where i am at now but will be lifting and running 32's before the end of december.

My Son runs ITP Mud Lite XTR's and does very well in mud and snow (we get heavy mud, and sometimes it is under 2-3 feet of murky water). I run Swamplites and they do as well or better in mud, and way better in snow than his ITP XTR's. However, the Swamplite's have a more vulnerable sidewall that could blow a bead (so I am told), where his will not. Has not happened yet, but we will see!

I have yet to find a weakness with my 30" dominators. They perform very well every where. The just vibrate over 30mph but where I ride that isn't going to happen often
