Just wondering what most guys run when running supertracks on an 8x8. I have a conquest and have been having trouble with the tires spinning on the rims and ripping the valve stems from the tubes. I am going to try and go tubeless on the fronts and rears on both sides to see if things improve. Any comments/suggestions appreciated.

Tube are not to be used, I run 21" Rawhide tires on the new 8x8 bead lock rims, I got them from Richard Clark, tire problems went away

You could always do the old screw through the rim thing. That is where you put a short screw through the bead section of the rim. The screw should be just long enough to prick the tire without going all the way through the tire.

there are two pictures of this simple and cheep mod on the "how too" page here on rout6x6 about 3/4 of the way down the page.
(it works very good and allows use of tubes, evan at really low tire psi)
