What brand to buy that dont go flat ?

Try the old moroso's. The drag specials I think. They last longer than anything I've tried plus I've never had a flat with one.

I'll second this. Look at my photos, the old Moroso's on our Nova in that picture are 22 years old and still hold air. NO, when the car is finished I'm not going to run them , LOL!!! When I purchase new tires, I'll probably buy Moroso's again.

I haven't had a problem with my 28" Hoosiers after a few months in the off season. Over the years some may have lost a few pounds but there is the valve stem to consider too.

Whatever brand you buy make sure you coat the inside of the tire with Dawn dish soap. It keeps your tires from leaking down.

Have been using the Moroso Drag Specials for 20+ yrs (even some light street use). They were never a problem, but I am going to try the Hoosiers this year. I will let everyone know if I made a bad decision......
I like living on the edge.......LOL

Never had ANY problems with the Moroso Drag Specials.

I have a set of 2yr old Moroso DS2's and one of them has a porous sidewall. Will the dishwashing liquid cure that?
