Their sportsman pro say the same thing...... I have never had a problem with them holding air tubeless....

I've run them with out tubes . They lose air overtime . Heard a story about coating the inside with pamolive dish soap and letting it dry to help slow the air lose down . Maybe others can give full details

yea i heard to use dawn dish soap to get it on...so that and a can of starter fluid did the trick! I just hope they dont lose alot of air but whatever they look so damn *****in

Thanks Fella's

I rarely run tubes in any drag tire. The new trick is to use a sponge and coat the inside of the tire with green slime.
