Reviving an older thread.
1 Getting the tires off to install tubes is a HUGE PITA!
2 Getting the tires back on is also a huge PITA, and the first time I gouged the tube, LOL. I've replaced the tube 2-3 times. They keep going flat.
I'd say tubes are a bust.
There are a slew of cheap Chinese wheel/tire assemblies on Amazon, but I don't want to go that route.
I can get just tires. They'll be made in China, but at least I can get Carlisle which I think is a decent brand.
I can get OEM which would probably be $300 for both front tire/wheel assemblies
I can get "NoAir" branded for $249 which have the following description.

The originals have bushings, but no bearings. It seems like bearings would be better, but I don't know.
