with a set of m/t et drag slicks, do you have to use thier tubes? or will any proper sized tire tube work ? thanks

Jeff use racing tubes only,, others are too thin and they will pinch and leak

thanks

Jeff i have seen guys use the regular tubes in the past but they allways seemed to get a hole in them,, compare them to a racing tube and you will see why.

I ran m/t et drag slicks for a couple years, no tubes, no problems. Regardless, you may want to mark your tire to rim with a paint marker in one spot to watch for and slip between the tire and rim-- I've had them move, typically on the first day of running, then rebalance the tire if it moves significantly. It seems like once the tire gets hot and cools a few times, it doesn't slip anymore. Sorry if I got side-tracked. -Dan

Use the drag tubes and apply some talc powder in the tire with the tube. Keeps things from getting pinched .

I would also recommend running tubes in the front if you run narrow front tires and rims.

They'll probably go flat if you don't.

I suggest rim screws too! Why not? Might as well go all out, I never have a problem with my tires/tubes/screws....:thumbsup:

...forgot to put my story up....bout 3 years ago a fox body mustang I was racing (who was SLIGHTLY ;) ) infront of me swirved into my lane with a flat tire...I slammed on the brakes and we almost collided (I was catching up :hurray: ) upon later inspection...the tire spun on the rim, tearing the valve stem from the tube!!!

Yeap thats true the talc works good and the tubes dont stick to the tire or rim.
