Default Does anybody run tubes in their MT et Streets?

I finally found some 28" tall MT et streets for a 16" rim = 28x11.5-16 on the S*mm*t website for $171.95 part #MTT-3796

What are you supposed to do? Just slap them on the rims and go? Or do you have to buy tubes? Also, what tire pressure are people running with the et streets? Thanks

psi needed depends on temp and a few different things what i would do is get them on the wheel and go to the track find someone running fast as @#%! and ask him what pressure he is running and try it out and go from there

run between 9-11 lbs on those with NO tubes...hot, greasy tracks, more pressure towards 11...colder tracks with more stick you can use less...on 16's they should hold air for a couple weeks...on 15's mine always went flat in a few days...NO TUBES

I'm gonna say go with more pressure. At 15 mine feel like I'm racing on falts. It's kinda scary on the big end. I've almost lifted a couple times when I drop the pressure below that.

I usually run 15 at Hallsville. I have run as low as 12 though.
