Tubes add extra internal friction as well as reduced cooling.
The extra heat reduces maximum safe riding speed.

My old GS1000 Suzuki has spoke wheels so I have to run with tubes.  
This means that my V rated Sport Elites with tubes are reduced to
not much better than an H rated tire without tubes.
