I think you have to buy the tubes separate. Not sure though.
On another note....Do you still have a 10 bolt rear end? Because a couple hard launches with those tires and you can probably kiss it goodbye.

no i run them no tubes just fine
is it an a4 or m6 i never do burn out and they hook just fine but ill drive around on them to warm them up just hook and go and never had a rear end problem

not too worried about the rear being that I have an A4 with a stock stall.. I just want some grip when it shifts (tires break loose and im sideways).. launches will not consist of anything over like 1600rpms (stock stall give or take) lol... but yeah, so I wont need the matching inner tubes? The ones in the wheels right now should be fine right? Also, any other suggestions for a radial? How are the 555rs?

Mines a stock stall a4 as well. There are no inner tubes in reguler tires and no you wont need any. I just got a set of the nitto DR's and have yet to try them out.

those ET streets you do not need a inertube but some guys run them..For a radial I would suggest the et street radial they work and it will be a little more stable on the high end of the track because it has a stiff sidewall were as the et street does not. I have heard from a few guys that the M/T drag radial is actully stickier than the ET street...

Why would you get et streets for an 8" wheel? seems a little strange to me.

because it lays down a perfect contact patch at 12psi and aren't so soft you cant drive to the track on them since there dot approved, if you get pulled over your ok. Oh ya and they hook just fine.

I have a friend who is currently running the Nitto 555's DR's and he said they helped him alot. He loves them and since he ddn't want to break the rearend with slicks this was prolly his best bet. In fact I'm getting mine next week. Just have to go pick them up! Well Good Luck. And the MT ET Street Radials are very sticky as well. I'd go with them personally. Maintain streetability and still have a damn good launch as well as stability on the top end of the track....

i had some 555 but i never had them on the track i bought some zr1's and thats what they came with since i had a m6 and 4.10 at the time i never went to the track, but at the street races and just playing around the 555 hooked good on the street in the middle of summer

i had the BFG dr's and loved them. they get really sticky with some heat. back to a normal street tire now but when i need dr's again it'll either be the MT radials or the BFG's again
