      I have heard you can run without them fine, but the tires will lose air pressure only after a few days. I personally would put tubes in if I had the extra money.

      Good luck with the nitrous! [img]graemlins/burnout.gif[/img]

        I don't run tubes in my et streets.

        I have 26 X 10.5 X 16's

        I run a 175 80 15 in front.

        I didn't want to go to the true 165 R 15 tire in front though because I drive it on the street.

        Um, do you have spare cash for a new rear/ LSD unit?

        Because spraying w/ et streets and hooking ='s breakage :(

          If you have et streets and don't want to run a tube, just rub some palmolive dish soap inside of them. Old school trick, but it works.

              Oh yeah, I bought 26x11.5x16 instead. I paid $295 for the slicks brand new and $300 for the skinnies.
