I just bought two tubes from the auto parts
for my slicks. Any reason I can't use them?
Would like to know before I open the package.
That way I can return them if I have to.

If they are regular tubes, and the tires are not pinned. Your valve stems will go awol since the tire itself is being streeeeeched upon a good launch. The right tubes to use are the Mickey Thompson Natural rubber tubes with the reinforced valve stem, only draw back is you have to drill out your rim to .625" to fit the stem
