I have the M/T E/T streets in a 28/11.5/16 and there on stock tahoe wheels. I'm not running tubes. Just have a regular valve stem and they should hold. They might lose some air over a guy days time. But you should t need tubes.

I run a set of tractor tubes that fit a 16" wheel, and up to a 29 tall tire. work good for now. the MT tubes are high, and you have to drill your rims for a bigger valve stem. I ran into that a while back. I run a 28/10/16 hoosier slick.

Thats a pretty good ticket.. I got a 65 in a 30 one time, barely escaped jail cause I pulled over and the 5.0 mustang ran...
