Is it safe to run 28x10 inch Hoosier slicks on 15x8 inch rims WITHOUT tubes?

no tubes=no beadlocks so make shure that there more than 15 psi in there or you may spin the rim inside that tire.

cool, thanks for the info guys. if i run them without tubes, i wont go any less than 20 psi, but i think i'll just get the tubes just to be safe. do you know where to get tubes other than Summit, etc. ? should local tire shops carry them? and how much do they run? thanks [patriot]
