Alright y'all, back with another. The raging topic of Tube vs Tubeless. Throwing the Hoosier Quick Time Pro DOT Slicks on my Charger to finish my rear-end project (Pics below, I know y'all love pics) But first, quick update on the project 68.

Drums out. Disc going in. Went with Right Stuff due to budget. Very straightforward and easy/affordable kit.

Went with 3.91 and the Detroit TruTrac Dif in the 489. Moser axels on the 8.75

At this point, I'm pretty locked in on the Hoosier Quick Time Pro DOT Slicks. Always loved Hoosier and need DOT to run the categories I want to run. I've always run tubeless on my dragster but this is my first street/strip doorcar setup. I don't plan on running these tires and wheels on the street (take on/off at the track) so I figured tubeless was where I was headed but information is power and I thought I'd get everyone's thoughts.

Hope y'all have had a great winter!

Day I got her. She's come a long way since.

I've had a lot of tube style with liners
I was going fast enough to spend the extra $$ on saftey

I would start with them tubeless and see how the car reacts. Video closeup of the left rear at launch . If it pounds the sidewall down, put tubes in it. (I'm running Hoosier quick time pro, 18.5x31 tubeless, 2600 lb car)
 
I ran tubes in my Quick Time Pros, car felt squirrelly down track without them. Also don't have to constantly worry about losing pressure when street driving.
