Default Tube tires vs. regular tires

I found a local guy selling some Crager wheels with tube style tires, just wondering if anyone has experience with tube tires and can fill me in on some pros/cons?

Thanks!

They stopped using them a long time ago. You see it on some race tires though, but not on the street unless you're trying to be 100% authentic.

Any drawbacks to using them on a daily driver?

Obviously, or they wouldn't be using tubeless tires on everything now. I honestly haven't seen any tires designed for tubes that are the kind of thing you'd want on a daily driver. It's just not really done any more. Modern tubeless radials are very durable, provide good traction, are stable, and you don't have to worry about tubes that may leak.
