Tubeless is the way to go. Less problems. I have heard some horror stories of guys with tubes breaking the valves on the from spinning on the rim and then you got a flat and needless to say the wall isnt a very soft thing.

Another tubeless vote. Some will likely chime in and say run the tubes.
Keep in mind if you are spinning the tire on the rim (mark the sidewall to find out), then you may want to screw the tires to the rim, and then it's advisable to run tubes.

I looked into this before I bought my new tires... and the consensus tha I found is that the tires generally work better without tubes, and the only people that I could find that were running them were guys that street drove their cars with the tires screwed to the rims. I was looking into screwing my tires as I was spinning them last year, but I think it was due to the tires being rather old, too much soap being used when they were mounted, as I found out when the old tires were removed, and the M6 was shocking the tire alot harder then I think the th400 will... even off the transbrake,it probably won't be as bad.
