People run tube tires tubless all the time. Some of my friends have experienced some leaks (like 10 PSI over night), but other than that usually it's fine... Except you won't pass tech if you're racing for real

ok.. so I'm back to thinking of 15x8's because well.. I dont want 2 extra inches if it's really not gonna help that much. I'm also thinking of getting the 26x8.5 slicks..

what do you think of that combo.. 15x8 draglites (5.5 bs) and 26x8.5 MT Drag slicks

Sounds like what I've been thinking of. Less tire less resistance = quicker et's

only thing about the 15x8's is that they sway going down the track makes for an interesting trip down the track sometimes ....
