I have M/T ET Streets and I run them without the tubes and without the screws.

As for the pressure, I start at around 17 psi and adjust based on my runs.

Whats the lowest air pressure you have used?

How well do they hold air?

Did you glue the Bead?

Thanks

Generally speaking if you keep them above 12 w/a little extra bead seal they will hold w/o screws. If you plan to go 12 or lower....get them screwed. Tubes aren't necessary.

I think the lowest I've gone on these was 15.

One loses air a bit faster than the other one but over time. For a one day drag strip use, they hold air just fine and I don't have to pump them back up (unless I let out too much).

They were mounted normally at Discount Tire.
