Wouldnt it be better to have a tube in the tire, tubeless tire or not, just in case your bead breaks? Whats the down side of a tube?

There is not a damn thing wrong with running tubes. Use the metal vavle stems and you will never have a problem.

Dammit!

Except when you get a puncture and you have to deal with trying to get the tire off to patch it. Way easier to plug a tubeless tire than to patch a tube. You can fix a flat with a tubeless tire right on the trail. Friend of mine had tubes in his 110 and it was just a huge pain in the butt whenever he got a flat.

yeah tubeless is the way to go i used to have tubes in my sx because i had dry rotted tires with 95% tread still on them. But i eventualy got tired of having to take the tube out just to patch the tube. So i just bought new tires and got rid of the tubes

After three years of hard riding on dry rotted tires I have only had one problem with the tubes in my Warrior. Nothing would have prevented that from one incident happening.

but look at the weight difference in using those tubes??

i personally bought some tire balls for my rears and never had a prob since.. but thos also weigh a ton and you CAN feel it!
