There has been talk in drag racing about tubes, so I hope this helps.
#1 All M&H Slicks require tubes.
#2 When buying a tube you need to make sure it's a natural rubber racing tube.
#3 A racing tube = Metal valve stem, the rubber is twice the thickness of a standard tube and it will with stand the heat.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Before installing the tube in the slick.
#1 Air the tube up outside of the slick a little to get the wrinkles out.
#2 Get baby powder and sprinkle it all over the tube, and then use a rag to wipe and cover all parts of the rubber and then let the air back out.
#3 Do the same with the inside of the slick and that way the tube will not hang up in the inside of the slick and rip the valve stem off the tube.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Putting a tube in the slick will that change the traction ?
#1 No
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Why put a tube in ?
#1 The sidewall is so thin it will not take much to pop a slick, tracks are not always clean.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
My #1 goal here is SAFETY.
GOOD LUCK
