If you go to the Mickey Thompson website, they say they are tubeless.

are you guys running stock half shafts for the manual cars with these tires? Is it safe to use them with the stock half shafts?

I'm running stock axles with hoosier slicks, no problems yet! Wheel hop is what breaks axles. That's why slicks are more forgiving than a drag radial when it comes to a manual car. Honestly I'm more worried about my axles when I wheel hop on my street tires than when I'm launching @ 5k on slicks.

Yea I figured you are asking for trouble with Drag Radials. I should be safe to use a slick or bias ply tire with stock axles?

I'm a little hesitant to air down any more but next time I go to the track in the fall I'll be looking for 11's. 10-12 psi @ 6k should be a good test for stock axles, I'll let you know how I make out.:headbonk:

yup thats when I'm planning to go as well. Do you just dump the clutch at 6k? Side step?

Anyone think driving these on the highway not exceeding 70mph would be ok? Trying to see if I'd be ok driving these to the drag strip tomorrow
