Screws and tubes with ETs?
How many people run ET's without screws and tubes? I know you can go either way and Ive heard of some people even using glue?

What is everyones experience?

I've used both ET Streets and ET Drags. No tubes, no screws, no problems. 126mph traps.

Less leaks with the tubes, and if I don't use screws they turn on the rims.

That's encouraging Derrick. I know alot of people have with no problems just like you. When do you get concerned? When the tire starts rotating on the wheel?

Mine were fine w/o tubes and rim screws but then somehow one got a whole in it from a nail somewhere on the track so now I have to go w/ tubes and rim screws so I don't have to fork out another 150 for a tire.
