Question about inner tubes....

[Malibu 361]

When do you have too use them?What kinda tires?Why do some tires not need tubes??I want too get a set of Hoosier slick and not sure if I need tubes?

Drag slicks generally have thin side walls and air will leak right out the side. Tires these days don't have that problem much. Run them tubeless unless you have some older wheels(supertricks) that require tubes.

WE try to never run them. Too much extra weight. The extra weight makes it more likely to wheel hop. Plus the issues of sucking in a tube, wading, stiction, etc......

How quick are you going? The more power you have the more you should stay away from them.

No, I don't run them. You are much more likely to run into tire shake, increased rotating mass, and slow reaction.
You may need to screw, glue or bead lock the tire to keep the tires on. And may have air loss over time.
