Mickey Thompson tires...
We run the 3062W on a beadlock rim and it leaks very little, I think rims with screws are part of the problem too.

Only way my mickeys DONT go flat is if i soap them. I run 2 sets of 3195s a year, and they will leak bad if i dont soap them. With that being said, still aint switching to the paint shakers, but MT has NOT fixed the leaking issue yet in my experience


In general, all drag tires do better when soaped. I have run MT's 3186, 3195, 3196 and 3197. I always soap the tires. What I found it this, the newer they are the less they will leak, the warmer it is the less they will leak and both tires don't leak at the same rate.
For me typically I can load the car after racing an the one that leaks faster is still up after two weeks in the trailer, about 3 to 3.5 lbs in it starting at 6.

It's 2021 and we're still worried about how much tires leak air?

Was there a time a few years back when flat tires were cool?

I was going to say that there haven’t been any technological advances in my lifetime that would make flat tires less of a pain in the ass.
