Do you have to use a tube with beadlock rims even if you are using a tubeless tire?

We have the Weld Alumastar II rim with the beadlock ring. We are running a Mickey Thompson drag radial which is a tubeless tire. Will it seal with the beadlock setup or do we need to use a tube?

It seals just fine without a tube. I have beadlocks also and have had no trouble with my radials holding air.

I guess I'll take them back apart and pull the tubes out. Thanks.
