With that size slick and weight I would guess your tire pressure is about 8 1/2#... thats not alot of pressure to hold the tire to the rim... I would screw them on.... JMO

i run them both ways. i didnt want to screw my new prostars so i just went tubeless with no screws, no leaks and the slicks dont turn on the rims. 30 x 10.5W x 15 no issues with screwless.

Well...back in the day all the tire reps would give us free slicks for winning class various places and when they comped us tires, they said"O no just like car tires this is new tech" We ran them tubeless and had problems. Like going flat staging. Screw and tubes here.
