ET streets are recommended to be run with tubes, its the ET street radials that do not require tubes

WRONG.

bias ply ET Streets, do not need nor are they recommended to use tubes.
I have them and dont run tubes

check out Summit Sales pages
http://store.summitracing.com/partde...p;autoview=sku
Tubes Required: .......... No


update:

I stand corrected: After checking on MT's web sitie, "most" of their ET streets do need a tube
However........... MT's part number MTT-3743 is listed on MT's web site as a "tubeless" version of that tire
This is what I have and is linked above.

Yeah those tires are some of the best drag radials in my opinion i put bf goodrich drags on the car and did a 1.8 60ft and then i put the mickey's on and did a 1.70 60ft they stick a lot better .
