    This is good timing for this thread, my 15x10 Weld ProStars and 28x12.50 ET Streets just came today! If I don't run tubes do I need to use some kind of sealer around the bead?
    Thanks,
    Ken

    with the heavier weight o fthe cars you guys have,keep the air pressure at 12psi or more......No tubes,No screws.
    Coat the inside of the sidewall w/ DAWN dish soap,They'll hold air,no problems.
    My 10.5 x 30 Goodyears held air all winter w/o tubes.
    IF you want,You can also use 3M weatherstrip adhesive on the bead,But after the first pass,the tires will seat and stop moving from what I have seen.
