Default ET Streets on stock wheels

Anyone running a set of the ET Streets on the stock 16" wheel? If so, are you using tubes/screws/neither?

I am looking for a set of the 255/50/16 DR's or ET Streets to put on an old set of firebird wheels.

Thanks for the input.

I think it is suggested to use tubes. Most don't. I have 26/10.5/16's on a pair of stock wheels.

Since you guys do not use tubes, do you have the tires screwed on or just installed as is?

Thanks for the input!

no tubes, no screws, no probs.....ran that setup for about a yr back in the day!

Run them no less than 12 psi, and you will be fine!

I have a set of ET Streets on stock 16s. No tubes, no screws. Ran em at 12psi. I'll tell you this, they're a bitch to seat on the rims.

tell me about it dude, I work for discount tire....only thing harder than seating them, is breaking them down...thin *** sidewall just crumples, lol.

balancing them out to 0.00 is rough too....

Great tires to race on, shitty tires to work on!
