Default Draglites and screws for the slicks???

I have a chance to buy a pair of 15x8 draglites for pretty cheap but they have holes drilled in them for screws. I was going to buy these and mount my 26x11.50x15" ET Streets on them. I have a few questions though....


1) Do you have to run tubes with ET streets?
2) Do you have to run tubes with ET streets with them being screwed to the rim??
3) If I do have to run tubes with the screws, are the tubes expensive, and how hard are they to mount?
4) Anything to watch out for or be careful about if this is the route I go?



Thanks!

We run our ET Drags tubeless and with screws. We loose PSI after about a weeks time, but I will be using some RTV to seal up the screws, this helps to prevent air leaks. You do not need to tubes with ET Streets, unless you don't plan on sealing the screws with RTV, then I would use tubes. They cost about $50 to $60 each.
