People will tell you "No".
I found that as the sidewalls were only 2 ply the air actually leeches through them - proved it in a tank of water.
On the street I would run tubes.
If they were "track only" (spare wheels swopped on in the pits) then I would not.
I have some spare tubes - they are VERY expensive for what they are, because I guess they are natural rubber. Y
ou may have to drill the rim out for the bigger valve; then you should use rim screws.....

Rim screws do what they say on the tin.
You drill the outer edges of the wheel rim in about 8 places in both the inner and outer sides of the wheel rim.
The screws are effectively self-tapping and bite into the tyre bead and the wheel rim.
They stop the tyre slipping around the rim and thus ripping the valve of the inner tube out. Used on slicks and big horesepower/torque motors for safety purposes to prevent rapid deflation of the inner tube/tyre.

I will check on the sizes to ensure they are appropriate.
I used them in Slicks with a 28" diameter and 10.5" width. They have no punctures. How does that stack up with your tire sizes?
I also used that size tube with 325 x 50 x 15 Hoosiers; which are currently on Julie's car.
Great tyres but I will be changing them soon as they are not tall enough.....
