In theory lower rolling resistance than the equivalent tubs, a bit easier to swap about, more resistant to punctures (or at least small ones seal) and there is the possibility of chucking in a tube if it all goes wrong. Cheaper too.
Tubs are lighter, more secure if they do puncture and the rims are much stronger.

What's the benefit over tubs here? Easier to swap tyres?
(-not a hardened racer so genuine question.-)
