ET street w/a hole in it: Tube & run it or new tire?

[Loco5.0]

Must've ran over something b/c 1 of my ET streets now has a small hole in it. Should I tube it & run it or just get another tire?

Get another tire to be on the safe side especially if you drag race it

How small is the hole?

You really need to be running tubes in them anyways.

Little bigger than pinhole if that.

It should be ok I have see people plug them before. I would Put tubes in both tire and drive on. The tubes will help keep the psi more consistent.

I tried to get it patched today, but no one would

I wouldn't patch or plug it. I would have it taken off and check really good to make sure nothing is still in it that would cut the tube, and put a tube in it.

It was off & checked. I guess the shops only have plugs. I'll pick up a patch kit & do that myself then have it remounted with a tube in it this time

cool.

What et streets do you have the new ones or the old style?

i had the same problem. i ran my old et streets tubeless for one day at the track and something popped a small hole in it. they are pretty soft so it wasnt hard to get a hole in it, it was a small small hole. i just bought some tubes and it works just fine.
