Re: ET Street radials
the Radials dont need them, and you can run the regular DOT legal ET street tire without tubes.
Some shops wont recommend it and may not want to install the tires but its fine.
I've been to 130mph on them and no problems. They dont leak too bad either, infact my latest set doesnt leak air at all. I smear some rtv around around tire bead and let it set up abit then get them installed. It works great
Watch for the tire spinning on the rim tho, it can happen. Mine spun alittle then settled in and never budged after that. Thats with 1.5 60 foots and 400whp. My nitrous runs also didnt slip and thats 1.41-1.45 60 foots and closer to 500whp
