Tubes or no tubes

For you guys running slicks are you running tubes or not?
I have heard of the sidewalls getting messed up in a heavier vehicle with no tubes.
I bought some 33x10.5x15w ET drags, wondering if I should order tubes or not.

I looked into it before I got my setup and went with tubes due to the weight of our trucks.

yeah it's the weight i am worried about.
I ran the bias ET streets on my car and never ran them but with my 5700lb truck I think it's a good thing.
thanks for the help guys, I pretty much knew the answer but wanted to see what others have done.
