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 run tubes in mine, same size tires.

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.

for sure no tubes, go do a search on the www about tubes blowing out and dragsters wrecking.

Any other advise on getting them to quit leaking? Tonight i might try to take them off and put in water and see where they are leaking? They look to be mounted good. Thanks

Spray some soapy water around the bead and see where its leaking. Some use a bead sealer on them, I've always just soaped the fronts and no issues.

How much air psi should i be running? its a 280" hardtail

I'll be taking mine out.

I run 32lbs in my fronts.

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.

Zip.

I dont run dragster fronts but I do use dish soap in my rear slicks, if the tire is already on the rim, just remove valve core and pour it in via a funnel and a small hose clamped to the valve stem, usually about a cup will do the trick :wink:

I did a search hammertime, came up with NOTHING???
