Slicks: Tubes or No..

[robert]

28x10.5x15 SS if that make any difference,
Only had QTP's always used tubes
Pro's Con's need to know thanks

I have never ran them personally.

So I guess it's safe to run slicks w/o tubes as
long they hold air.

Yes
I've never ran tubes

[UserX]

I even had rim screws and no tubes and they still held air.

No tubes, lighter = quicker 60ft

[jyro]

I run tubes

10.5X28X15 also on 10" rims
lots less hassle between rounds with tire pressure, not having to worry about leaking down between weekends. 1.34 60's at 10 lbs

[svauto-erotic855]

I have done both and never had a problem either way.

some truth to that. It really depends on how heavy the car is. If the car is heavy stiff wall and tubes help, a light car no tubes work better.

I've run with and without them, and much prefer without. Those tubes are heavy.

You might wipe some liquid dish detergent around inside the slick before mounting it to help slow down the air leaks.

Thanks to all for the responses
Got the M/T 28x10.5x15 Et Drags mounted no tubes no leaks so far

New Problem..................
They rub against my Stock location c/o's
Afraid this was going to happen, I guess time to real c/o's
But then will I have to get rid on my 3" tailpipes?

[sspstang]

I ran that same size with no issues.

What's your rear suspension set-up?
My issue is with the Coil Over stock shocks location
They rub against the coils.

[sspstang]

I was on stock suspension on a GT. I would like to see my coupe with that size. I have 275/60/15 now on it, I had to take the quad shocks off. But they fit perfectly.
