The rolling resistance of tubes in a large tire at low pressure is significant. I had two fat bikes set up for sand riding, one with tubes and one without. Anyone could tell the difference right away when riding.

In our area (goat head heaven) you have to maintain sealant whether you run tubes or not so the choice is an easy. Maintaining sealant in a 5 minute job every 3 months… not a big deal IMO.
