Will this be ok I will be mounting them on some factory wheels. And what psi should I run. The car is a 97Z full weight with Vigi 2800 making about 325 rwhp.

I started running tubes back when I had 320hp becauxse they would spin on the rim. I also went to tubes and rim screws. I have not had a problem since doing this.

What size ET Streets?

I dunno, but to me it makes sense to use rim screws and tubes. After all, we're talkin tires inflated to 12psi on a 4000+lb car going >130mph :eek:

Seems like cheap "insurance" to me!

I used to run tubes and screws with slicks and ET streets, however, I never do anymore. Unless the tires are turning on the rim (which is possible without screws), then I could do without the weight and hassle of tubes.

FWIW...I've never "blown" a slick or ET Street in tubeless form. I have blown a tube at the big end of the track.

I run ET Streets, 26x11.5x16 on 16x9.5 Centerlines, no tubes but WITH rim screws.

Yes, they leak slightly, about 1psi a day. Of course, that doesn't mean jack when it comes to drag racing, since you are only running the tires for a few hours.
