you should NOT have a tube in drag radials, i used to run screws but have not in a long time now. I glue them on with the loctite red gasket glue and thats it.....yes they move a lil and usually take a set after moving about 1/4 of the way around, but thats after about 30+ passes
....BAD A$$ STREET CAR.....

I was on the Bullet looking at what they were doing with theirs before I bought mine, and they were glueing them, so that's what I did. I did have an issue with the tire rotating in the rim once glued, just lack of any real traction.
They are not slicks, and I am now sure after running a set, they do not repeat like slicks and are not great for bracket racing. But if you have a fast street car and they are required for your class, by all means run them. I thought they would be a great dual purpose tire, but I don't like going thru the traps sideways at triple digit speeds.

What the he__ do you run them on to go sideways throught the traps? Topfuel dragster? Wolf has been 4.20s in the 1/8 straight as a arrow, thats with approx 2500 hp. I can understand that they are not as consistant as slicks off the line but once they are hooked up I have never lost traction with them. I will personaly never run a slick again.
