Mickey Thompson #9553, I use this on a 28X10.0/15 ET Drag, Pro Stars with screws.
BTW this took 2 minutes on Summit's site to find, tubes are sized to fit specific ranges of tire sizes.

Just wondering why are you wanting to run tubes?

full slick with screws,and its not holding air.

Fwiw, one thing you can try doing is coating the inside of the tire with a film of dish soap. This will alot of times stop the tire itself from leaking air. It won't do anything if you're leaking from the bead, or the screws though.

Just something to try.

I did the dish soap trick on my tires and one of them holds air but the other has a slow leak. A few older men told me to do this before I mounted the tires on the rims. I used a whole bottle on two tires.

Yeah it's an old school thing. Sorry to hear it didn't stop both from leaking.. if it's not coming from the valvestem, bead or the screws.. tubes are probably the only way to solve the issue.

don't tube just 1 tire either.. that's a really bad thing to do. (you probably know this but if I don't say it.. ya know)

do people still put baby powder between the tube and the tire?

JL ws-6

iTrader: (50)

Absolutely. If you don't do that the tubes will stick to the tire and it will cause some screwy stuff, and odd tire wear, along with possibly damaging the tube.

The powder is a must with that.. I don't know a single person that doesn't do it.

and make sure you have the VS facing the right way, they not right on the inside centerline of the tube, there offest a little. So that will mess up the tube, you'll see a little bump in the side wall on big tires were the tube is twisted.

You can fill the tubes up a little and it shows better were out is on them.



The 28x10.5 tire is funny, that 2 tube sizes cover that tire size. Has anyone run both? Thats something I was wondering if one worked better?

inner tube size please

You could use a tube from a farm store but I don't recommend it. They aren't natural rubber and aren't able to tolerate the heat cycles and they're not as pliable so they won't conform to the side wall very well. Also the valve stem doesn’t have a threaded section and a nut to hold it in the wheel. This makes it very difficult to inflate the tube without the stem going into the wheel, as the psi gets lower you risk it going into the wheel. I know all this from personal experience; I tried them and had one blow on me at the top of the track. Thankfully there was a good enough seal between the tire and the rim the car made it to the return road before going completely flat and I never lost control. When I got the tire off the rim the tube had literally split down the middle where the “seam” was. Don’t know if it was a manufacturing flaw or what but it will never happen to me again. I tried to save a buck and got lucky, learn from my mistake and don’t endanger yourself or others by using a cheap tube. Got the M/T tubes which are designed to do what we use them for and will never look back.

A little baby powder makes installing the tube much easier!
