It does two things........One, it stiffens the sidewall of the tire which is generally a benefit on ANY car, but especially a heavy one.........Two, air leak issues.......GONE. I see NO downside other then the cost of the tubes Monte

Monte I'm constanly amazed on how many self proclaimed racing experts, who may or may not have any seat time, reside and comment on this board I learned a long time ago that if you don't listen and are not willing to test, experiemnt and learn your never going to go any faster Most of the my way is the only way crowd do not learn or change Mr.Cab Racing and winning with Mopars since 1964.

I agree with Monte's points about making slicks stiffer, which is good for heavy cars, and they don't leak air. It seems to me like the slicks now days don't really leak like they used to and the manufactures seem to be making more slicks with stiff sidewalls (which are heavier and probably almost equal the weight of the slick with tubes..lol) The main negative with running tubes for me and racing an facilities that don't have paved pits is that if you run over something you can plug your slick and keep racing (won't even miss the next round and can run them the rest of the year). If you have tubes and you run over something your done.
