Dragster front tire going flat?
 

So we got our new dragster not long ago and we used the wheels and tires from our old car since they were only on that car for a few passes. We have always had an issue however with at least one of the front tires going flat over the course of 3 days. They are Goodyears. Was wondering if anyone else had a similar issue? or what can be done to fix this? We are more than likely going to replace all 4 before we run the car, and we did put it up on stands, but not sure why they keep going flat.

I fought this problem on my dragsters for several years. I finally put tubes (metal stem motorcycle tubes) in mine and no more trouble.

I found it necessary to enlarge the hole for the tire stem a small amount.
