I bought the EXcella (Model # of-213). It is great in the sand but on the road it has a little more noise than stock one. I don't know how long it will last. But its pretty cheap. Dennis kirk has them for $44.99 Here is some photos.

That looks like a really nice tire for the sand. I know that since I have put on the new Dulop 606 on the rear my front tire just gets pushed around in the sand. Hard to steer the thing. Going around a corner it just seems like im on ice. I have to slow down and put some A** on the front bars to get the tire to dig in. I will be getting a new one soon. Looks like I might go with the one you have.. but still looking.

It's hard to say how long it will last. I only have 100 to 200 miles on it so far. This tire works great. It made the bike handle so much better off road. It is a 90\10 tire, 90% off-road 10% on-road, If you do a lot of on-road riding then this tire might not be for you. You might want to look at a 50/50 tire or something like that. Like Gravy Train said the stock front tire sucks in the sand it likes to get pushed all over the place and It wont hold a straight line.
