Dragster front tires?
Does anyone use a tube in a front dragster tire? I believe they are good year 17 x 2.25. They have about 20 passes on them, every time the car sits for a day or two, they are flat.

I don't run tubes or know anybody that does in dragster fronts. The trick I was taught was to rub a little palmolive dish soap inside before mounting them up. Mine will hold air for months since I started doing that.

X2 on the dish soap, works well with tubeless slicks also, just take a paint brush and paint the insides before mounting and balancing, put a little extra air in them for a couple days. Usually they'll never leak unless you run over something, then they are a bitch to patch.
