Default Rim Screws?

I have a new set of Bogarts 15x9.75 and Hoosiers QTP 26x11.5 with no tubes.
First time out the tires moved about 3"
Will they continue to move or will it stay seated now?
I am new to using slicks, do you recommend using screws?

I run 10.7's and have never screwed mine. I'm stepping it up a bit so they will be soon. I would say 11.0's no problem without them.

i guess it all depends on how hard you are leaving not so much the et mine slipped so bad it cut the valve stem when the tire slipped due to the tube turning with the tire and the other one the stem is crooked. i then put screws and i never had the problem again. my advise is put them what the hell they only cost what 12.99 from jegs?? and what does a tube cost 50.00 whats cheaper?? just my .02
