Default Questions about hoosiers and tubes

Right now I'm sitting on 4 hoosiers QTP. 26x9.5x16 LT. I have one that has a slow leak from the side wall. It looks to be from where the tire was wrinkled.

Does anyone know if tubes can be used in these?

If I put a tube in one will I have to put one in all of them?

I have seen tubes made from M & H that say they fit.


Anyone have some info on this?

Thanks guys!

Chris

Yes you can put tubes in Hoosier Slicks. I wouldnt put a tube in 1 tire because tubes add unsprung weight. If it was me I wouldnt add anyless than 2 tubes on either the front or the back of the car.

I have run tubes in my Hoosier from day one, due to the leak factor. Also by running tubes it will allow you to run less air without tire sway, probably not an issue on an all wheel drive car. Ill agree with ballaholic minimum of 2 tubes..

sounds good guys. I will most likely get all 4 to equal it out.

Any good tubes out there? I've tracked down the M&H ones but thats all so far.
