Tubeless tires gradually lose air when punctured. Tubes pop like a balloon when punctured, losing all the air at once (not good). It was common (in the old days) to put a tube inside a tubeless tire that could not be plugged/patched, rather than replace the tire. I don't recommend it, but it's the only way you will keep air inside your tires/w spoke wheels.

Tubeless tires are pretty straight forward. In most cases you can mount them to the wheel, and air them up, and they will remain inflated, unless there is damage to the tire or wheel. With that said, buying a tubeless tire doesn't mean that you CAN'T use a tube. It simply means that the bead is designed to seal against the rim without the use of a tube. As mentioned, wire wheels require the use of tubes. When it comes time to buy new tires for your vintage car, truck or motorcycle, always remember tubes, rim strips and/or flaps if applicable.
