Picked up some BTR beadlocks....are you guys running these with tubes or without? They already have schraders installed to run without.

We are running them tubeless in our 10 car. No problems so far. Just make sure you use the metal valve stems.

When going to 35 lbs do you have with the bolts breaking? I thought it they were supposed to be 12-16lbs.

Tubes are not required with BTR wheels. Anti seize all bolts and torque to 25 lbs.
We do not run tubes in any of our BTR wheels on our class 1, 10, & 1/2 1600 cars.
For the most part tubes were ran on wheels that bolt or rivet together to stop the air from leaking out the center and some people claim they reduce flats. Make sure if you use tubes the person installing them knows what they are doing and uses lots and lots of the powder or you will cause more leaks by pinching the tubes!
