Do I need to use innertubes with my comstar rims?

Matt Story
About to buy new tires, and don't know if I need tubes or not?  Maybe I should use tubes even if the rims allow tubeless?  If it's an option, what would be the pros and cons?

My bike is a 77 cb750f

Thanks

Matt

The Comstars I had were stamped tubeless. Yours should be as well. Tubes are only required on spoked rims where the air will leak past the nipples/spokes. A solid aluminum rim,such as a Comstar,will hold air just fine without tubes. A tire will run cooler without tubes vs with. You also can't plug a tubed tire like you can a tubeless. Just my $0.02.
