i went without, but got a pinhole, and tubed them. i think they are a little more stable.

we've ran a couple sets in that size..no tubes. if we get a hole, we'll get tubes. tubes are a bunch of bucks too...and we're always too broke to want them

Same thing happened to me. First time at the track I had to leave early because of a pin hole. Bought tubes, slowed down a tiny bit, but does feel more stable. I like the tubes now after getting that tiny little hole for no apparent reason. Still do not know what caused the hole.

it might be the wrong way but i used super glue last time i got a small hole in my slick. jabed it in the hole with a paperclip & built it up till it stoped.
good temp fix

I can get you Mickey Thompson tubes for 49.99 each + shipping. These are the tubes they recommend for 13-15" wheels and 22" to 26" in diameter. So they'll work with basically any slick you'd normally run on a honda.

PM me if you're interested.
