I don't.
Inner tubes,
Give me tubeless every time.
Safer from the point of view of blowouts, although in the case of BMW, at least their spoked rims are designed for tubless tyres.
It's such a simple design.
I never understood why more makers don't use it.

GS wheels don't have inner tubes, and have tubeless tyres :)
