Do I need tubes?

[my1stgn]

Im looking at getting some Weld Pro Stars 15x10 with 5.5bs. Also looking at getting M/T 28x10.5x15 tires. Im looking at running around 14-15 psi maybe as low as 12-13psr. Do I need to install tubes or can I run that kinda air pressure without tubes? And what psi do you guys recommend? I should be launching on a t-brake. Thanks!

Personally, I've tried slicks with and without tubes.
With tubes I've found better air pressure retention, more consistency and reduced 60ft's. They will add some unsprung weight, but I think it's worth it.
As far a PSI.. 13.5 to 15 have given me the best results on MT's, with or w/out tubes.

So then I don't really need tubes at say 13psi unless I'm worried about consistancy right? Just don't want to go to the track and get a flat or blow out cause I didn't run tubes

Lots of people run lower then 13psi with no problems. Just check the pressure often.
