Anybody run these without tubes?
Is using tubes in these tires is absolutely necessary? I have heard some people run them without tubes if they are not using rim screws.
Thanks.
very clever dinner. appetizing food fit neatly into interesting round pie.

I ran wheel screws and tubes in mine and liked that way to do it. Never ran without tubes, but i dont see why you couldnt. It just nade the tire a little stiffer.

I ran QT Pros w/ screws and w/o tubes using the old "coat the inside w/ dishwashing liquid" trick. The sidewalls seemed pretty stiff compared to the M/T slicks I had at the time.
EDIT: I don't know if the standard Quick Time tires have the same stiff sidewall as the QT Pros do. I don't think I'd run the regular Quick Times w/o tubes.

...I ran the Quick Time "Pro's" (Cheater slick)33x22.5 with no tubes on the street till the threads showed. Then put on the Quick Time (more tread) 33x22.5 with no tubes for the remainder of the 6 yrs it was on the street. To run them with out tubes & not having them slowly leak down, spread some (I think its ivory) dish washing liquid liberally,over the complete inside of the tire, & they will hold air well. That will give you less rotating weight for ET's at the strip also. There's a lot of weight in those BIG tubes. Just my opinion.  ...EDIT: with screw's

Thats how I run mine also. The best foot print with tubes seems to be around 14psi.
Yep, ran mine at 13.5 to 14 all the time.

Interesting, thanks very much guys. This is a street car and now I'm leaning towards no tubes.

...What size are you planning on using. The taller the tire the more left to right movement of the wheel in the tire. An odd feeling the first time you notice it like on a highway with wagon track's from the heavy coal trucks. The lower the air pressure the worse it is.

I am running 28x14.50 quick time pro's and Hoosier told me to coat them with joy dish soap. They said something about whats in joy brand specific that works very well to keep them holding air. I dont have any screws in mine. I have been running about 13-14 p.s.i. in them and last time I ran I marked the stems and ran it one pass and it looks like the marks are off about 1"-2" . Is it possible the tires turned on the rims? I asked someone at the track and they said if they turn on the rims they normally break the beads.???? Been on there for 6 months and seem to hold air real good.
