Not necessarily. Many of us have run the ET Streets without tubes. I think the limiting factor will be how low you want to go on pressure. Go under maybe 12psi and you run a risk of the tire deflating. In any case you MUST constantly check tire pressure, because the tube-type tires will leak air through the casing.

M/T has a writeup on their "tech" page... worth reading.
