[QUOTE="rattle_snake, post: 11694376, member: 126699"] You can run ET streets with or without tubes. MT recommends to use tubes. Screws are only really used to hold a 'tubed' installation in place so the tire/tube combo can't slip on the wheel and tear the valve stem off the tube. There is quite a tube/tubeless debate all over the 'net. If you don't run tubes the tires will leak to some extent, but most likely it won't matter over the course of a few hours at the drag strip. Some people coat the inside of the tire with dish soap to mitigate this. Also for the 8" wheel you could also use the 26x11.5-16 size The recommended wheel width on the MT web site and the sticker on the tire were slightly different; size 26x10.5-16 tread width = 8.5 wheel width (website) +/-1" of thread width -> 7.5 to 9.5 wheel. wheel width (sticker on tire) = 7, 8, or 8-1/2 [/QUOTE]
