Yep. Ran them on my 9 sec s/s spring Duster for years and they would hook on ice. Great tire.

Yep. I liked runnng tubes because the sidewall became stiffer. And i did use screws.

Like any other bias ply tire, if you run a tube in them, you need to be sure the tire doesn't slip on the rim. Either screws or beadlocks would be my suggestion. Gluing them, like you do with radials, isn't guaranteed and isn't worth the chance of tearing the tube and losing air pressure going down the track.
Don't want screws or beadlocks? Then go tubeless and just deal w/ a lil leakage. I have not run the new ET Street R tires, but I ran the old ET Street bias ply tires for many years. They'd lose a couple or 3 pounds of air overnight w/o tubes...no big deal.

Rubbing dawn dish soap on inside of tires works for me. Rarely have to add air. This is what I've done with slicks and had good results. The reason I was looking at the MT tires is that are supposed to have a stiffer sidewall.

I coat mine with a Dawn and water solution and let it dry. The next day I coat them again then I prep and clean the bead to remove the "mold compound" with paint thinner, scuff them with red scott pad, and clean them again. Then I glue them on with High Tach sealer. I lose less than 1 pound of air during 5 months of winter storage.

I think people are confusing the “ running them without tubes “ and they leak. Everybody seems to know how to make the tires hold air without tubes....... My point wasnt about holding air, my point was i run tubes on QTP’s only because it stiffens the sidewall. I have run them with and without tubes, prefer tubes, stiffer sidewall

I think it was BIGCUBE that posted several years ago and I'm paraphrasing: SFI wheels don't need bead locks or screws with tubes. Anyway, I tried it. Mid 10's, 3700lbs, MT ET Bias Streets, Tubes, no screws. Many many many passes, no issues.
