Don't switch to Forte Lunar Light's no matter what you do....I sent my wife to pick up some tubes for me and she bought those because she told the guy I sometimes hung out on WW and had a road bike. You can hardly get the tires on with ripping a hole and even if you do they seem to lose like 10-15% of their air per hour....
If you are not getting pinch flats look into some better tires.

Three flats in how many miles? I had 3 flats in 15 miles the other day. All the cinders they put out after and ice storm tore up the tires.
Both Specialized and Slime make a "anti-flat" road tube that is reputed to self seal up to a point. You will pay a weight penalty for using these tubes however.

I'm a big fan of tire liners.
Sure they add weight and probably rolling resistance, but they are bulletproof. I would take them out prior to a race though.
