Re: ET Drags with Tubes?

Everybody has there own theory.......but i run tubes just as a safety issue and not having to pump them up with air every run or finding them flat in the morning.......but that is just me....i could care less if i loose 1/100 or 2/100 running a tube i just feel safer and one less thing to worry about
