I might not be running on Sat...

Had a problem last night went out to my car to see the back right tires was flat. My back right tire needs a tube to make it keep air and I don't want to have to drill my rims to use these tires. I have a tube in it right now so it will hold air.

My thing is I don't want the tire to move and take the chance of the vavle stem braking on a hard launch.

What I don't understand is the guy I got the tires from never had the tires drilled for screws and he makes a **** ton more HP then I do.

M/T ET Streets 26" x 11.5 15 LT.

Did you not know that they will not hold air with out tubes?

I would put radials on it either way.

No I didn't the guy I got them from used them with and without tubes . But never drilled his rims either.. My left tires is still hold air and no problems.. My right side took 3 days to lose air.



I have Race Stars for anyone asking.

I'm going to say I am ... But I want to be safe about it.

Old man gave me a idea to try and I think I will do it.

I'm going to mark the rim with grease pencil do a few launches and see if it moves first.

If it does I will take the tube out.

Is it weaker than a 10-bolt on the old F-bodies?
