The tires are about 8 months old and I hate to have to replace one. lots of tread still left. Any advantage or disadvantages going with a tube?

The sidewall is the strength of the tire and once it is punctured it is no good. 18" enkei cdr9 w/ kumho 225/40/18 5% limo all around alpine head unit jl xr series door speaks 2 jl w3 w/ppi 2600 and 1 farad cap b&m clear head lights dingless
