Do You Run Tubes In Your Slicks?
Do You Run Tubes In Your Slicks? Like the title says...I wanna know how many of you run tubes in tube required tires. Just thought I'd ask cause I've had mixed feed back....
I ran them on my old '79 camaro with 28x11.5x15 et streets just because I heard they were more stable at the big end than running without. Also heard they were more stable period with tubes. Never tried them without. BUT I had been looking into the hoosier dot QTP tires and was thinking about running them without tubes...but I may go with the drag radials instead to avoid growing on the big end.
In my experience if it's heavy or if it is stick shifted you are better off running tubes or another option would be a stiff sidewall slick.
I run stiff sidewall slicks and tubes. From my experiance having this setup, the car reacts alot faster and "hits" alot harder off the line. The only downside that I have found was that the tubes added more rotational weight.

I use tubes in 10.5x28 stiffs and in my 11.5x28 QTPs. I have run with and without them, main reason I use them is there is never any leaks, have to use screws with tubes naturally.

No tubes here. 
ran my last to sets of et streets without tubes. never leaked air and never had problems. i think they recommend tubes if you want to run low pressures. never had tubes dont no what the difference would be.
i just smear liquid dish soap all over on the inside of the slicks two times then mount them and rarely do I add air to them, in fact the car has sat on jackstands all winter and only lost 2 psi. Do the sidewalls and the tread surface on the inside, 2 slicks uses almost a full bottle of dish soap but stops the leaks once mounted and aired up.
