Tubes with slicks? Anyone running tubes in their slicks? I don't see taking my down beyond 14-15psi, and don't think I need them but thought I'd ask to see if anyone was running them.

I run 29.5 x 10.5 ET Drags with no tubes. I have no problems racing at 12.5 psi in the tires.

Sean, I take it your car is seeing more street time nowadays.
Lee, I did a search but guess I didn't use the right buzz word as it didn't pull up very much on the subject.
Thanks for all the responses. I was hoping to not use them as everybody likes less unsprung weight.
And by the way, Coach wins at 10.5psi!!!! I've been down to 11psi on ET Streets and it get's a little hairy on the big end.
