whos running tubes in there slicks ??. i picked some 24.5 on some weld wheels last summer and i have never ran them but i think that they dont have tubes in them should i put some in or is it ok without thanks

 

i have ran them both ways at 135. so far tubes only at 147. switching to the mickeys i took the tubes out. some say they are more stable, i think they were a little more stable at 135, but once i got over 140 the car does what it wants to anyway. ill be at honda day tubeless.

 

when i got my first M/T slicks mounted probably 10 years ago,the guy was really confused that i didn't want tubes-he said he'd always put them in slicks before.
i never have run tubes,and never had issues.i've only used them on 1/8th mile tracks though,never going over 95ish MPH.

i was tubeless for 1 day, got a pin hole in brand new slick, and now run tubes. next set of tires will probably be without tubes, unless i get another pinhole.

 

see mine have a slow leak too

 

I'm a tire guy, work with them every day. Bout 1000 tires a week sometimes. I mounted my own 24.5's on my lenso's. They lasted about a year without leaking. They then started leaking, checked where they were leaking and its all around the sidewall and where it says MT. Purchased The MT tube for those tires(which is discontinued now) but still available through ebay. Since they have been tubed they are mint! If anyone has any questions about them lemme know.

 

I run w/o tubes... I just check my tire pressure religiously.

 

Yea i check and adjust pressures every run. I run 25" m&h with out tubes. 130+

 

MT 28x10.5 180+ mph, no tubes

 

Sick

 

any rim screws?

 

i would venture to say yes.

 

No, dual bead locks
