If they are tube type you should get tubes in them for sure! They may hold air for a wile but they will eventualy seperate and blow up. I am guessing yours are tubeless so you don't have to worry about it. Mine are tube type thus I need a tube.

What size do you have? I can't think of any off the top of my head that are 13 wide not in a 16". This is a rare size. I found two sets for sale used. One the guy wouldn't return my calls after I first talked to him, the seccond sold them in one or two days on craigs list. I decided it was time to go new and stock searching around.

Radials may have worked better for you but everyone agrees that the bias will hook harder on almost any and all situations. The radial can run faster if track prep is good to great and your set up is right on. The bias will do 90% of the radials best in almost all conditions. Radials are great and can be faster, but for a fairly foolproof tire the bias is the way to go.

Right now I hardly have anough power for slicks aside from maybe the nitrous. The three reasons I got them is because one, coldtemps hear at the end of the season. Seccondly on the juice I want to make sure I hook and don't blow them off 60 ft out. And last and the main reason is this winter I am stroking the motor and going to need traction for next year.
