I have to get new tires over the winter. I have to run a DOT tire for my index races. I have been running MT streets (bias) 13.5 x 30. I am happy with the way they perform. Average 1.38 60's with a best of 1.35. They lasted 3 years. Thing I don't like is they lose air, will go flat in a week. I am also looking at Hoosiers quick time pro 13.5 X 29. Hoosires are close to $50 cheaper each. I don't think the 1" shorter will hurt me much. Has anyone run both?

Another question, Do you think I should run tubes? I was thinking of put them in so the tires don't go flat. Also think it would help stiffen up the side wall.
