Wouldn't recommend using a tube in a low profile (50 series profile) tyre

They dont make /cant make tube that shape Kev,

Points to note are

If using a tube type tyre on the street without an inner tube fitted and you were involved in an accident the chances are your insurance
would be void

The bead on a tubeless tyre is designed to lock into the rim where as a tubeless rim and tyre where not designed to lock together to allow easier removal.

It is ok to use a tubeless rim with a tube type tyre with correct tube fitted but not ok to use a tube type rim with a tubeless tyre.

Should i run tubes with my TOYOS, as they lose pressure so quick i have to keep pumping them up in the pit lanes

Are hoosier quick times any good ? I am thinking of replacing my mt drag radials that have been great but unavailable at the moment,plus they look a lot more road legal. any comments please ?

So nobody uses hoosiers then ?

They are very good, and I use inner tubes with them.

I have a set of 325 x 50 x 15's and they have been great.
However, the car must run on slicks now so I will be outing them at the beginning of the season...

Thats the size I was looking at pete, what size rims are you using them on?

Pete · Post by **Pete** » Tue Nov 11, 08 11:03 pm

I have got them on 8 1/2"s, but they need to be on 10" rims really....They are purely "get to the track" tyres now.

would they fill a 10 inch rim and are they as sticky as MT street radials
by the way are they actually cross plies (bias belted)?

The Q/T's I had said on the sticky label Not for Highway use and an inner tube must be used.
