Default Slicks Question.

This maybe a stupid question, but i got some 26-10.00x15 MT ET DRAG slicks given to me for free and have like 5/32" tread left going by litte holes in the tires. Will these mount on stock 10 hole wheels? and if they will fit do i have to use a tube with these tires? Thanks Guys.

yes they will fit great, you may need to reverse the quads or ditch them but i don't think you will. a 10 1/2" you do though.

no you do not need tubes, but they hook best on about 8 psi, to go under 12-15 lbs you'll need them cuz they will leak too fast, that or carry a air tank around w/ you

but.....on 20 psi, they will hook harder than anything you have ever been on , so mount them up and have a blast

That is pretty much everything i was hopping to hear. LOL. i know they are a little too wide for the rim but they where free so i figure i will give it a try... and if i come along another set at work i can have them too.. lol. perks of working at a drag strip i guess. Anyways.. anymore info or opinions would be awsome too.

they will mount on your wheels, you dont need tubes, and you will need to take off your quads.
