They dont make /cant make tube that shape Kev,
Points to note are
If using a tube type tyre on the street without an inner tube fitted and you were involved in an accident the chances are your insurance
would be void
The bead on a tubeless tyre is designed to lock into the rim where as a tubeless rim and tyre where not designed to lock together to allow easier removal.
It is ok to use a tubeless rim with a tube type tyre with correct tube fitted but not ok to use a tube type rim with a tubeless tyre.

Are hoosier quick times any good ? I am thinking of replacing my mt drag radials that have been great but unavailable at the moment,plus they look a lot more road legal. any comments please ?

They are very good, and I use inner tubes with them.
I have a set of 325 x 50 x 15's and they have been great.
However, the car must run on slicks now so I will be outing them at the beginning of the season...

Thats the size I was looking at pete, what size rims are you using them on?

I have got them on 8 1/2"s, but they need to be on 10" rims really....They are purely "get to the track" tyres now.

would they fill a 10 inch rim and are they as sticky as MT street radials
by the way are they actually cross plies (bias belted)?

The Q/T's I had said on the sticky label Not for Highway use and an inner tube must be used.
