This^^^

Further, I have made ~ 5000 passes over the past 23 years, not one was with tubes and they never lose air pressure from round to round or week to week.

Oh and my current ride, a former super stocker, 60 foots high 1 teens, weighs 3144 lbs. and rolls on Hoosier 32/13.5 tires on 14" wheels.
