Default General consensus.....Tubes, yay? or nay?

Ive got a new pair of wheels to go on so have ordered some nice M&H 24.5 x 9.5 x 13 rubber for them. However i get conflicting information as to if tubes are required with some of these tyres or not. Some people seem to run with, and some without.

Would any of the front runners? i.e. sub 10 sec cars be willing to share what theyre running with me in terms of this?

Thanks!

I have a similar question...I know most ppl are not running tubes on their FWD cars, However I bought a set of wheels and slicks from a guy last witer that look very lightly used as he said they were. Unfortunatly one of the slicks has a pin hole that lets the air out prety quickly.....would it hurt at all to run tubes in the slicks to prevent air loss, im on 24.5" slicks. Thanks
